Supporting implementation of the NICE guideline for young onset dementia

The Young Dementia Network has produced a resource for commissioners and frontline health and care professionals that provides guidance on how to address the challenges and meet the unique needs of people of working age living with dementia.

Young onset dementia has significant differences from late onset dementia and evidence shows that the needs of younger people with dementia are not being met by an age-generic approach – which can have a devastating impact on the individual.

Designed to support implementation of the NICE dementia guideline, this resource sets out the tailored approach needed at key stages of diagnosis and support.
