After another busy #DementiaActionWeek I want to again encourage anyone with any concerns or symptoms to seek a diagnosis so they can get the support they need.

Great to meet @alzsoccampaigns in Parliament and learn more about the vital importance of dementia diagnosis in North West Leicestershire. With 1 in 3 people with dementia still without a diagnosis, we need UK-wide action now to improve diagnosis rates #DementiaActionWeek
This #DementiaActionWeek we're sharing Delphine's music therapy session with Arianna at her care home
Delphine can find it challenging to hold conversations due to her dementia, but in music therapy she is free to express herself fully 💚
In March, Alzheimer's Society gave Ivan Toney, Kyle Walker and Jarrad Branthwaite a chance to understand the physical challenges people living with dementia face.

With #DementiaActionWeek at a close & this year’s focus being dementia diagnosis, it’s important to highlight that 1 in 3 people in the UK living with dementia do not have a diagnosis. If you’re worried about yourself or someone close to you, book an appointment with your GP.
During #DementiaActionWeek Professor Katherine Sleeman shares her thoughts on Dementia Journeys: Towards Better End of Life Care, a free exhibition which brings together the experiences of carers, research by Kings and UCL, and the work of artists.
Receiving a dementia diagnosis isn't easy.
But for many, finally knowing what you're dealing with can bring help, hope and support.
Just like it did for Jackie and Tony 💙

As part of #DementiaActionWeek , a campaign led by @Alzheimer's Society, we're proud to be playing our part in supporting those living with, or caring for someone with dementia. Whether this is through our partnership (cont) spkl.io/l/601044XgG
During #DementiaActionWeek we remind the community of our Home Safety Visit service.
