We meet at least twice a year and welcome people living with dementia in north and mid Wales this include those that have a diagnosis and their supporters.
We work closely with the academic staff and students at the School of Health Sciences in Bangor University to inform undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers what is important to people affected by dementia.
Members have also educated the current and future health and social care workforce through awareness sessions, consultations and presentations in small groups, training events and conferences.
We also provide individual peer support to those who have received a diagnosis through the Friendly Face initiative.
The group is facilitated by staff and students at Bangor University working to support people affected by dementia as part of our work towards becoming a Dementia Friendly University.
The group recently created the Knowledge is Power booklet, and would be happy to share information about the process with other groups. Details can be found here:
