Dementia affects more than memory, including attention, planning and decision-making. We invite health and care professionals who work with people living with dementia to join an interactive workshop at the University of Leicester. Together, we will explore everyday challenges, communication approaches and practical strategies. Your insights will help us develop accessible, evidence-informed resources for professionals and families. No research experience is required.
