North East Forum on Ageing

Search Dementia Conference Report

This report is from the second Dementia Conference, facilitated by Search in partnership and funded by Northeast and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB), the first was held in September 2022.

Over 100 invites went out to people living with Dementia, their carers and professionals.

The conference had a range of speakers on subjects which the delegates of the previous conference requested more information on. We were particularly delighted to have the findings of the PriDem project presented at this conference.

The round table discussions were an opportunity to reflect on the draft Dementia Strategy and directly influence further development of the strategy, while giving people living dementia and their carers the opportunity to talk to a range of professionals and organisations from across the city.
