National Dementia Strategy

The National Dementia Strategy was published in February 2009 and is being widely implemented in care homes. Through monthly newsletters, the National Dementia Strategy Implementation Team is sharing ideas on how the strategy can be implemented, examples of how different homes have implemented the strategy, and resources to support care homes in their own implementation.
