This September, we celebrate World Alzheimer’s Month which focusses on attitudes toward dementia and seeks to redress stigma and discrimination which still exists around the condition. The monthly focus will highlight the positive steps being undertaken by organisations and governments globally to develop a more dementia friendly society. This is a cause close to our hearts and we were extremely proud to have raised £5,402 for Alzheimer’s Research UK at our Conference in June 2024. Just over a week ago, the new Alzheimer’s drug, lecanemab, was approved for use in Britain. This marks a historic breakthrough as the first drug proven to slow the progression of the disease. The above achievement is however bittersweet, as lecanemab will only be available to those who can afford private care. Our health system must do more to ensure all people with dementia can access life-changing treatments. Alzheimer’s Research UK has called on Health Secretary Wes Streeting to act so no one is left behind.
