Commitment 1:Shef�eld will become a dementia friendly city

...a city where communitites, organisations and local

businesses all support people to live well with

dementia.

There are approximately 7,000 people currently living with dementia in Shef�eld: that’s just over 1% of the whole of the city’s population.

Organisations across the city are working together to improve the care and support for people of all ages living with - or caring for those living with - dementia in Shef�eld. Our vision is to make sure people with dementia are supported to live life to their full potential.

With this in mind, we have created 13 commitments to delivering care and support, which aim to improve everyone’s different experiences of dementia.

These commitments have been in�uenced by national guidance, as well as conversations we’ve had with people living with dementia, their carers, health and social care professionals and volunteer groups. We want to hear more from you.

Get involved: have your say until the 18 January 2019

These 13 commitments are currently the �rst draft - we want to know what you think about them and how you think we might achieve them as a city. Sharing your experiences and ideas will help us make sure we’re committing to doing the right things.

You can �nd the 13 commitments below and overleaf - please have a read and complete the two page survey at the back of this document.

Our commitments for dementia in Sheffield

Commitment 2:We will ensure preventative health becomes an integral part of the dementia work

...because dementia is not an inevitable part of

aging: there are lots of ways we can delay or prevent people getting dementia.

Commitment 3:We will improve access to the diagnoses of diseases that cause dementia at the earliest possible stage for the people of Shef�eld

....because the earlier we diagnose, the more time

and options we have for treatment and care.

... a more personal, �exible approach to care will

help people remain independent for as long as

possible.

...to involve people with dementia and their carers in
