This summer, Trafford hosted two highly successful Living Well with Dementia events aimed at raising awareness, celebrating community partnerships, and supporting people affected by dementia and their families.
This Dementia Action Week Manchester Women Together filmed an engaging conversation with Jacqui Cannon, Chief Executive of The Lewy Body Society, Dr Rebecca Marchmont and Sarah Kirkland, Senior Project Manager at Dementia United, who shared their personal and professional insights into young onset dementia.
Dementia United is proud to be collaborating with the organisers and sponsors of this congress, the largest annual multi-disciplinary dementia-focused event and exhibition in the UK
Our Long Goodbye is an exhibition that documents one mother and daughter’s relationship to each other and to Alzheimer’s. From June to December 2025 the exhibition will tour to four venues in the North West with accompanying workshops, artist evenings and interactive displays.
Over 70 people attended the event from across a wide variety of health and care settings including voluntary sector, care homes, hospices, community teams, primary care as well as hospitals and mental health providers.
Dementia United has developed one of the most progressive and integrated delirium care models in England, making significant strides in community-based detection, prevention and management.
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.
Dementia UK are partnering with Nationwide Building Society to bring these free clinics to over 200 locations throughout England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales every week; offering 600+ appointments per month face to face in a Nationwide Building Society branch.
