We believe that people with dementia face avoidable harm in hospitals due to inconsistent training and poor accountability. We need mandatory dementia training for all staff and national standards to ensure safe, compassionate, and consistent care across every NHS hospital.

Require NHS to start priority triage & discharge pathways for dementia patients
Make NHS hospitals implement priority triage and faster discharge pathways for people with dementia when the medical condition is treated & home or community care is available. Formally recognise that delay in discharge can cause rapid deterioration and should be treated as a clinical risk.
Fully fund Good/Outstanding residential care for all people living with dementia
Dementia affects people of all ages and can create unsafe home conditions, breaking many families physically and mentally. Privatised residential care is very expensive. We urge the Government to reallocate welfare funding for Care Quality Commission-rated Good or Outstanding dementia care.
Require mental health training for all HR staff, managers and directors
Introduce mandatory mental health training for all HR staff, managers and directors. Ensure the training is comprehensive, realistic and meaningful; to learn what it is like for an employee with a condition to work, struggle and cope within a workplace.
Funding for all NHS staff to have training on non epileptic seizures
I would like there to be funding to train all NHS staff on what to do and how to manage non epileptic seizures (NES) because they are different to epileptic seizures and we may be accused of faking because we are not epileptic.
Increase available support for people with young-onset dementia
We call on policymakers and health authorities to increase available support for people with young-onset dementia as currently some support is only available to people of state pension age. Additional resource should also be made available to improve chances of early diagnosis.
