14 May 2025
Dementia Action Week - 19-25 May 2025 Dementia Action Week is an awareness raising campaign. Each year, Alzheimer's Society works with individuals and organisations across the UK to encourage people to act on dementia.  This year they are focusing on diagnosis and highlighting to audiences the most common symptoms of dementia. Diagnosis is vital to give people access to the care, treatment and support they desperately need. Yet, incredibly, 1 in 3 people with dementia do not have a diagnosis. If you're worried about yourself, or someone close to you, get help describing your symptoms to a GP by filling in the Alzheimer's Society symptoms checklist . Help the Alzheimer's Society to spread the word Download Dementia Action Week resources including posters, flyers and banners to help spread the word about making dementia diagnosis a priority. Find out more about Dementia Action Week including how you can get involved and get support for yourself or a loved one on the Alzheimer's Society website .
