This year the World Alzheimer’s Month campaign will focus on post-diagnosis support, aiming to highlight the importance of support for people living with dementia and families following a diagnosis.

On World Alzheimer’s Day, 21st September, Alzheimer’s Disease International will launch their annual report focusing on post-diagnosis support at an online event.

Key areas of the report include:

• The impact of diagnosis on people living with dementia, their carers and families
• Medical, emotional and practical considerations during the early, middle and late stages of dementia, including for different forms of dementia
• Current and future pharmacological, cognitive and multi domain interventions in dementia
• The impact of culture and society on post-diagnosis support for people living with dementia, introducing models of care from across the world
• The importance of education about dementia
