Abstract

With a focus upon ‘memory-friendly neighbourhoods’ (MFN) this programme of knowledge exchange fostered debate, sharing and learning in regard to the notion of dementia-friendly communities that is currently of high policy concern. The programme consisted of a series of gatherings based initially at SUII HQ, each with a focus upon interactive exchange, alongside supporting online activity and the creation of an online networking resource. The themed events attracted a diverse international and UK mix of stakeholders from different sectors and disciplines. People with dementia and carers were involved throughout and gave presentations at two of the three gatherings.
