“We Can Speak for Ourselves”

​

A Report on a Survey of the Dementia Information Needs of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities

 

David Truswell and Dr. Jay Chauhan

April 2018 

​

A basic premise underpinning health and social care provision in the UK is that services have a responsibility to deliver care equitably. It is important that in the case of dementia, there are robust, targeted efforts made to ensure advice and information on prevention, support and treatment within BAME communities is achieved in an equitable manner, as there is clear evidence of some communities being at higher risk for the development of the condition. David Truswell of DACE and Dr. Chauhan of DDXN ( Dementia Diversity Xchange Network) did a pilot study to explore what people from diverse communities felt they needed to raise awareness about dementia, Their report is here.
