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?
It would be great to be more aware of the signs of dementia because we could recognise it in our clients or be able to understand more talking to clients with family members affected by dementia.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
We will require an awareness talk about dementia.
