Race Against Dementia’s Post

This week is Dementia Action Week and it's time to act now for a Dementia friendly future. Communities that take action to become dementia-friendly have: *less fear and a greater understanding of dementia *less stigma and discrimination *more support and better systems for people living with dementia to live well in their community for longer.

There isn’t one single test that tells you if you have or don’t have dementia. Getting a diagnosis is a process that can take time. But an app developed by Dementia Australia is helping to change this in a fun and engaging way. Watch part two of Fiona Tigar’s interview with Maree McCabe AM, CEO of Dementia Australia, to learn about their BrainTrack app and the positive impact it's already making in dementia care. #WhereScienceMeetsHumanity #BrainHealth #BiogenANZ

What do those living with dementia want people to know? Join panellists to understand the pathway after a dementia diagnosis and explore what can be done to enable people with dementia, and their families, to move forward.
