UKDC26 Second Plenary

Is social care fit for the future of dementia care?

The future of dementia care depends on a social care system that can meet the needs of an ageing population, but are we there yet? A compelling discussion on the challenges, opportunities, and reforms needed to create a social care system that truly supports people living with dementia.

Drawing on their expertise and experience, the panel explore what a future-fit model of care should look like, examine the barriers facing the sector today, and consider the actions needed now to drive meaningful and lasting change.

A thought-provoking conversation. A challenge to the status quo. A vision for the future of dementia care.
