Description
This resource aims to raise awareness of dementia. It includes content on the different types of dementia and their symptoms and strategies that support independence and well-being to provide guidance on best practice when supporting people living with a dementia and their families and during the COVID emergency.

This resource was split into the following 3 resources in 2020; Support People Living with a Dementia, Delirium and Grief and Bereavement.
