Help us campaign for better diagnosisOur survey into dementia diagnosis is underway. Do support us by filling in a survey form. Your answers will help us to understand why just 33 per cent of people with dementia in Wiltshire have a formal diagnosis - one of the lowest rates in the country.
We have two survey forms. One is for people who are concerned about their memory, whether they have a diagnosis or not. It can be filled in by a family member or friend on their behalf.
The second form can be filled in by ANYONE over the age of 65.

Join us for coffee, cake and singing at Park House, Trowbridge, at an open morning to mark Dementia Awareness Week.
