How to improve dementia pathways: resources for ICSs

The key challenges for the health and care system with regard to dementia are to ensure timely and high-quality diagnosis and planned integrated care to aid provision of appropriate post-diagnostic support. 

 Integrated care systems (ICSs) have a key role to play in meeting these challenges and ensuring that high quality care and support is provided to all people affected by dementia. 

 Join the NHS England Dementia Policy team for a webinar about how ICSs can bring together the NHS, local authorities, and other partners such as charities, to innovate, collaborate, and deliver optimal pathways of dementia care.
