Trosolwg o'r prosiect
This project will work to increase awareness of Alzheimer's and dementia in the population of North West Kent. Workers will post leaflets in GP surgeries encouraging patients over the age of 65 to discuss any memory problems with their doctors in order to increase the chances of any dementia being diagnosed. The organisation will also offer assistance and training to GPs and surgery staff in topics such as difficulties with language, cultural barriers, stigma as well as the importance of early diagnosis.
