Care Services Minister, Paul Burstow said:

“Dementia presents a massive challenge for society and is a priority area for Government, so I’m delighted to support this exhibition. The Alzheimer’s Show will be a real boost to people with dementia and their carers, providing the latest information on services, technology and dementia research. 

David Cameron today said that dementia in this country is a ‘national crisis’ and has made it his personal priority to make the UK a world leader in dementia care and research, as part of his  “National Dementia Challenge”, by increasing the research budget to £66 million.

We are proud to have Dementia Action Alliance as a supporter.

Dementia Action Alliance is made up of over 100 organisations committed to transforming the quality of life of people living with dementia in the UK and the millions of people who care for them.

We are proud to announce The Alzheimer’s Society as an official supporter of the show.

We have just received a letter from the Prime Minister with a message of support. David Cameron said that dementia is a high priority issue for the Government and their challenge on dementia is designed to make a real difference to the lives of people with dementia, their families and carers. Exactly what we at The Alzheimer’s Show are aiming to achieve.

Professor Alistair Burns has very kindly agreed to support the event. He will also be a speaker in the main Alzheimer’s Matters Theatre.

The Alzheimer’s Show is proud to announce it has been accepted as a member of the Dementia Action Alliance.

A new guide has been launched for carers and those who work with people with dementia which provides advice on how to help with pain and distress in people with the condition.
