To support World Alzheimer’s Day, World Alzheimer’s Month and National Dementia Carers Day we have brought together Research in Practice resources to support working with people living with dementia.
Practitioners in adult social care have an important role in ensuring that people living with dementia and the people close to them receive support in order to lead good lives. With recent reports of people living with dementia being disproportionately impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19) it has become an even greater priority to support people with dementia, their carers and practitioners working with them.
