Dementia survey

16 April 2019

Alzheimer’s Society is conducting a national survey to hear the experiences of people living with dementia. The survey includes three sections:
 
– Living in your local community


– Living with dementia day to day


– Employment and work
 
It is important to hear the views of people living with dementia and the results will be used to raise awareness during Dementia Action Week.
 
The survey can be found at: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/tell-us-your-experience-living-dementia

The closing date is Friday 26th April.
