A summary of Dementia 2014: Opportunity for change, focusing on dementia in Northern Ireland. It draws together evidence from the Alzheimer’s Society annual survey, alongside new analysis from Alzheimer’s Society, King’s College London and the London School of Economics. The summary provides a snapshot of the key areas affecting people with dementia in Northern Ireland over the last year, exploring how well they are living in their communities and detailing the changes that need to be made to improve their quality of life. It focuses on dementia diagnosis, a health and social care system that works better for people affected by dementia, variable quality support, progress towards building dementia-supportive communities and research that improves lives. The summary sets out a series of actions to lead improvement in diagnosis rates, waiting times, integrated post-diagnosis support, funding and investments, service users’ involvement, staff training, awareness raising and evidence-based, participatory research.
