Panel at Young Onset Dementia Conference in Leeds

Organised by North Yorkshire charity Dementia Forward, the conference brought together over 150 delegates including people with lived experience, health professionals, researchers, and care providers - under the theme "Creating Change - Shaping the Future of Young Onset Dementia." The event focused on improving care, support, and education for individuals and families affected by young onset dementia.

Gary represented Promedica24 as both a stallholder in the event's marketplace and a panellist on the discussion "Creating Change in Care", sharing insights on how live-in and home care providers can play a vital role in helping people with young onset dementia remain independent in their own homes.
