The Dementia Services Development Centre has been awarded a grant from the Dementia Services Development Trust to undertake an improvement programme in dementia care within Northern Ireland. This has been in turn funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies and the DHSPSSNI. This convention has been set up as a preliminary stage to this project. There is no charge and refreshments will be provided.
Staff who are involved in caring for and supporting people with dementia are invited to attend.
All those invited to take part will be sent three briefing papers about dementia in Northern Ireland two weeks prior to the event. This will cover the themes to be tackled. The Dementia Convention will set the agenda for this three year project to support the implementation of the Northern Ireland Dementia Strategy which aims to improve care for people with dementia and their families.
