Integrated Care Board stakeholders wanted for project on dementia prevalence in ethnic groups 

ByJDCteam

A new project estimating the prevalence of dementia diagnosis by ethnic group is keen to consult Integrated Care Board (ICB) stakeholders to inform their work. 

The project is looking to produce prevalence estimates for people with a formal dementia diagnosis, broken down by broad ethnic group. It is being funded through the EquaDem Network, which aims to develop solutions to barriers in dementia diagnosis and care.
