Derbyshire Dementia Strategy - Engagement
The Joined up Care Derbyshire Dementia & Delirium Partnership want to speak to people in Derby & Derbyshire about dementia. This will help us renew the Derbyshire Dementia Strategy for another five years until 2030. The current Strategy can be viewed here:
We have prepared a summary of achievements here:
What do we want to find out?
We want to know if the current priorities in the Dementia Strategy should remain the same or whether we need to consider new priorities.
We are mindful that there is only so much money and capacity to deliver support for people living with Dementia and those who care for them. We want to ensure that we understand what is most important to the people of Derby & Derbyshire.
We want to hear from as many people as possible, people who are living with dementia, their carers and people who work in dementia health and care services in Derby & Derbyshire, as these are the people the strategy is for.
Your opinion matters!
We are using the framework of the NHS Dementia Well pathway as our structure for this engagement:
Preventing well – Helping people to reduce their risk of developing dementia or delay progression of the disease.
Diagnosing Well – People are accurately diagnosed in a timely manner.
Supporting Well – People living with dementia, and their carers, have access to high quality health & care services.
Living Well – People living with dementia can live normally in safe & accepting communities.
Dying Well – People living with dementia die with dignity in a place of their choosing.
