We’re working to make Greater Manchester the best place to live for everyone affected by dementia.

About Us

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.
