1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

Helping people to improve their standard of living by improving sight and hearing which can give them greater independence.

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?

In certain cases unfortunately patients cannot have help with vision or hearing due to other medical issues.

Staffing issues limit services we can provide.

2. Actions

  • Dementia awareness raising for staff.

    Ensure all customer facing staff, attend a dementia awareness raising session.
