Do you work in dementia care?

We want to make dementia care and support better.

We all have a shared responsibility for making sure that people with dementia have a positive experience of receiving care and support.

Improvement Cymru, together with health and social care professionals, people living with dementia and carers, have created a set of mandatory standards that are focused on improving dementia services.

These are known as the ‘All Wales Dementia Care Pathway of Standards’. 

They have been created to help professionals work better together so people living with dementia are receiving the best possible care and support.

We want to work with professionals, carers and people living with dementia across Rhondda Cynon Taf, Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil to ensure the standards are being met.

If you work in dementia services or services that support people with dementia, you need to be part of this so you can share your experiences and ideas.

We want to ensure we are working together as partners across the region to ensure we have a service that meets everyone’s needs, regardless of their location.

By working together, we can ensure we are meeting the standards, supporting staff to provide the best possible care, and transforming services for the better.

We lead on six workstreams you can be involved in looking at:

community engagement

memory assessment

dementia connectors

hospital charter

learning and workforce development

measurement and data

You can be at the centre of designing services to deliver better dementia care, in whatever role you hold. Your expertise and passion is vital to this journey.
