We’ve accepted less for dementia for too long.
Because for decades, people affected by dementia have faced long waits, patchy support and limited access to treatment.
We've accepted a standard of care that wouldn’t be tolerated for many other serious health conditions.
People are waiting months, or even years, for a diagnosis and often, when they get it, they are handed a leaflet and ushered out the door.
Enough is enough.
We know what good diagnosis looks like. We know what people need, and we know change is possible.
So, we’re calling for a new ‘national standard’ for dementia diagnosis. Meaning that after being referred by their GP, everyone with dementia receives a diagnosis, a care plan, and, where appropriate, begins treatment - all within 18 weeks.
