Hyde Town Hall hosted a Dementia & Delirium workshop last Thursday, organised by Tameside Integrated Care Partnership, IMPACT, and NHS Greater Manchester. The event brought together carers and service providers to discuss ways to improve local support.
Event organiser Sarah Ward from the NHS said the workshop built on last year's community sessions. “We’re hearing what works, what doesn’t, and how we can connect people better to the help that’s already out there,” she explained.
Participants took part in two workshops, one exploring Tameside’s progress against brain health standards set by Dementia United, and another focused on what effective, person-centred support should look like for those affected by dementia.
Key priorities identified included easier access to timely support, clear signposting of local services, improved end-of-life care planning, and better support for carers facing heavy responsibilities.
Sarah emphasised the importance of continuing conversations with residents: “Everyone’s experience is different, and we need to make sure every voice is heard so that no one faces this journey alone.”
The event also showcased local providers such as Tameside Community Response Service, Willow Wood Hospice, The Alzheimer's Society, A Morning of Memories and others.
