Dementia Action Week will take place from 19 - 25 May 2025, where we will continue raise awareness of the importance of an early diagnosis for people affected by dementia. Dementia Action Week is an awareness raising campaign. Each year, Alzheimer's Society works with individuals and organisations across the UK to encourage people to act on dementia. This year they are focussing on diagnosis and educating audiences on the most common symptoms of dementia. Diagnosis is vital to give people access to the care, treatment and support they desperately need. Yet, incredibly, 1 in 3 people with dementia do not have a diagnosis. If your worried about yourself, or someone close to you, get help describing your symptoms to a GP by using the symptoms checklist on the Alzheimer's website Checklist for dementia symptoms | Alzheimer's Society 1 in 3 people in the UK living with dementia do not have a diagnosis 91% of people affected by dementia say there are benefits to getting diagnosis For more information visit Dementia Action Week | Alzheimer's SocietyDementia Action Awareness Week – 19th till 25th May 2025
