In the UK one million people will develop dementia in the next 10 years so there is a desperate need to find ways to prevent dementia. The British government has revealed plans for a memory clinic in every town in England, to provide early diagnosis and treatment for dementia.
The 5 year strategy to set up the clinics, provides extra training to GP’s to spot the eary signs of dementia so that families can navigate the care and support systems, and also raise public awareness and prevent the stigma surrounding dementia.
