Dementia information hub

The Dementia and Housing Working Group (DHWG) has launched the new “dementia information hub”, which provides a forum for sharing information and ideas.  The DHWG says it will be a “go to resource” offering the best information, advice and support for people with dementia, their families and carers as well as policymakers, practitioners and academics.  The hub has been created using an online platform called “padlet”. Set up by the National Housing Federation, the DHWG aims to promote the role of the housing sector in improving the health and wellbeing of people living with dementia.  Visit the hub here https://padlet.com/dementiaandhousingworkinggroup/Dementia_Information_Hub
