Over 41,000 people in Wessex have dementia, and these numbers are predicted to double by 2050. It is the biggest health issue we face, and due to the growing ageing population in some parts of our region, incidence rates are higher than the average for England.
The dementia friendly primary care ‘iSPACE’ project was introduced into GP practices across Wessex as an innovative, cost-effective solution to enhance services for people with dementia. We are now proud to present the final report of the impact the project has had across the region, and most importantly, how it has helped improved the lives of patients and their carers. Read the report and highlights here.
