Listening To People With Dementia and their Carers
A new listening programme to find out more about the experiences of people with dementia and their carers starts in England. The Department of Health’s listening programme will include different ways of gathering people’s views and experiences, both in person and online.
The first part of this work is an online survey for people who have been diagnosed with dementia in the past 2 years (since November 2014), and people who provide unpaid care for them. The survey, which is open until 31 January 2017, asks about people’s experiences of dementia diagnosis, support and awareness. It has been produced in consultation with people with dementia, their carers and partner organisations.
The programme’s scope will cover the 5 main themes in the Implementation Plan:
- health and care
- risk reduction
- dementia awareness and social action
- research
- continuing the UK’s global leadership role
