Feedback from the 19th Congress:

  • Hearing Directly from People with Lived Experience

    The best part of the congress was hearing from people who benefit most from what we do, what’s the point otherwise?
    Kelly Mills

  • Hearing Directly from People with Lived Experience

    I think this makes UKDC more valuable than any other conference. Hearing different opinions on a range of issues, and knowing that your opinions/presentations will be heard and challenged by them is so important. It ensures that researchers and practitioners don’t exist in a bubble!
    Isabelle Latham

  • I loved every minute of it

    The variety of topics in both the presentations and during networking. The variety of individuals working towards the same goal. The feeling that your opinion and experience are valued by all. I will use the information I have received from the presentations and networking, to enhance my experience and knowledge as a care professional working in domiciliary care. Roll on UKDC 2026
    John Stocker

  • A very good event

    A very good event, worth the effort and expense. It is THE go-to dementia event in the UK. Without it there would be a huge void as it’s where all engaged in, or affected by dementia, whether personally or professionally can gather to learn and support each other. Long may Congress continue.
    Graham Stokes

  • First time

    It was my first time and I did enjoy every session I attended and learnt a great deal. I also made new connections.
