The topic we are going to talk about this time is Dementia Awareness – specifically Vascular Dementia awareness. Dementia is a topic that you will see pop up in your studies with us, and there’s even a whole unit that covers Dementia so some of this information may be familiar to you.
Dementia is such a wide topic that affects so many people, and sometimes you need to bring awareness to make sure everyone is informed about just what it can do in a person’s life. Vascular Dementia in particular is a common type of dementia that can be caused by a myriad of different issues, so it’s important that everyone knows the signs and symptoms of it.
Overall, it is estimated that vascular dementia will affect around 150,000 people in the UK, making it the second most common form of dementia.
