“Best estimates suggest that the number of UK residents with dementia stands at 700,000, with 570,000 of these living in England. Currently, the cost to the UK economy of caring for people with dementia is £17 billion a year. In the next 30 years, the number of people with dementia is expected to double, and the associated costs to treble to over £50 billion per year.” THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PSYCHIATRISTS MEMORY SERVICES NATIONAL ACCREDITATION

The first wave of UK memory services have been accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists for their achievements in meeting best practice standards. 

Improving services for people with dementia and their carers is a national priority and ensuring the quality of existing services is no exception. Involving memory services in continuous quality improvement initiatives, such as MSNAP, is one way to drive up standards and to guarantee that quality remains a local, as well as a national, priority.

Through a series of presentations, this one day conference, chaired by Professor Martin Orrell Professor of Ageing and Mental Health Centre for Ageing and Mental Health Sciences UCL and Associate Medical Director North East London Foundation Trust, has been developed to provide delegates with firsthand knowledge of memory services.

Topics include: 

• Twenty years development of memory clinics in the Netherlands
• Latest developments in case management in dementia
