As people age, they tend to have higher prevalence of chronic disease and co-morbidities, physical limitations and mobility needs, mental health issues and social needs.

Quality of life and quality of care in dementia |
×
There can be no doubt of the magnitude or importance of the public health, policy and clinical challenges posed by dementia. Fifty million people worldwide are living with dementia and this will double every 20 years, to 75 million in 2030, and 132 million in 2050. The current and future challenges of dementia require policy and action at all levels: international, national, regional, local and individual. New treatments and ways of preventing dementia need to be developed and tested and health and social policy need to be developed for people with dementia. Help-seeking and the offering of help in dementia are constrained by stigma, the belief that it is a normal part of ageing, and by a widespread underestimation of the positive things that can be done to help people with dementia live well. In the last decade it has become clear that there is a multiplicity of positive interventions that can promote independence and give people with dementia and their family carers good life quality. It has also become clear that the large majority of people with dementia and their family carers do not benefit from these. What is it that enables one family to live well with dementia and another with ostensibly the same illness and challenges to have a poor experience? Which groups have better or worse outcomes following diagnosis of dementia and why are there inequalities in care and outcomes? What can we learn from the experiences of people with dementia and their carers to deliver care and support that maximises quality of life for all? In this session we will consider these questions with reference to the development of national strategies and models of intervention for people with dementia and their family carers.
