Dementia United is Greater Manchester Integrated Care’s programme for dementia.

In Greater Manchester we are working to bring the NHS, public services, and the wider community together to deliver integrated, person-centred care and support that enables people to live a good life. Our Greater Manchester programme is called `Dementia United’ because partners are united in our longstanding vision to improve the quality and experience of care for everyone affected by dementia, and to deliver this vision across the whole of the region.

WHAT'S NEW

Greater Manchester’s collaborative approach to delirium attracts international attention | 21.03.25

A team of clinicians from Singapore travelled to Greater Manchester for a month-long study visit to learn how health and care services work together to improve delirium care. The city-region’s proactive, community-focused approach is helping more people receive early diagnosis and support at home, reducing hospital admissions and improving outcomes.
