Rutland's Great Dementia Conversation was officially launched today with the support of public figures John and Nula Suchet. The campaign, spearheaded by Alicia Kearns, aims to make Rutland the first fully dementia-aware county in the UK. The initiative, supported by organizations like DementiaUK, Alzheimer's Society, and Admiral Nurse UHL, seeks to raise awareness, remove stigma surrounding dementia, and improve care for those diagnosed with the condition as well as their carers. The launch was marked by speeches that highlighted the importance of discussing dementia and enhancing healthcare practices.
