What carers told us about dementia support 

In May, Healthwatch Greenwich took part in a Dementia Support Event organised by the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The event brought together unpaid carers, families, and professionals to talk openly about how dementia care is working in the borough - what’s going well, where there are gaps, and what could make the biggest difference for carers and the loved ones they support.
