Key points
The challenge covers three main areas:
- driving improvements in health and care
- creating dementia friendly communities
- improvements in research
In driving improvements in health and care there are five things thought to be particularly important:
- increasing diagnosis rates
- the dementia CQUIN
- an innovation prize for NHS staff looking at better ways to help people with dementia
- dementia care and support compact
- looking at local information
