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

A tribute to Mike Brookes, who passed away very peacefully at home on 24 October, after living with Vascular Dementia since 2011. | 18.12.25

Mike will be warmly remembered as a passionate campaigner and advocate for people living with Dementia for many years along with his wife Liz, a retired nurse. He was dedicated to his work and cared deeply about his family and friends, and everyone affected by Dementia.

Our work touches every aspect of living with dementia, in every part of Greater Manchester

We aim to engage lived experience in all aspects of the programme

Engagement can be through existing groups and networks or directly as part of specific pieces of work. ​ Our governance structure includes lived experience contributing the vital perspectives which comes from real lived experience, both from people living with dementia and their carers. ​
