Dementia and People with Learning [Intellectual] Disabilities

Guidance

This UK government produced guide to intellectual disability and dementia, notes that carers who look after people with intellectual disabilities are met with an increasing number of adults who are developing dementia. Addressing this challenge requires reasonable adjustments to public health initiatives on prevention, NHS dementia diagnostic services, health and social care for people with dementia and their families, and services for people with intellectual disabilities. This guide covers a number of relevant topics.
