Dementia is the most feared disease for the over 55’s and the risk of developing dementia doubles approximately every 5 years after the age of 65. Dementia accounts for 2/3 of all occupied hospital and residential beds and costs the economy £26b per year.

A recent commissioned engagement exercise undertaken by Doncaster Healthwatch has confirmed that much more work is required in Doncaster to support people and their carers both prior to a potential dementia diagnosis supporting them through their journey and post diagnostically to ensure they receive the right information, advice, guidance, signposting, care and support.
