ACCG is working with Dementia United to identify the actual number of Black African and Caribbean people across Greater Manchester that have dementia.

We aim to ensure the Care Pathway being developed by Dementia United addresses the cultural needs of Black African and Caribbean people and their carers, living with a diagnosis of dementia and also informs local dementia specialists, health care workers and policy makers.
The Dementia Call for Evidence Survey covers 4 areas of a person’s Dementia journey, which are:
1. Diagnosing well
2. Supporting well
3. Living well
4. End of Life Care

Questions can be answered by either carers or people living with dementia.
The goal of the Care Pathway/journey is to help Black African and Caribbean people living with dementia, their carers, and people working with them, to understand and navigate the care and support available to them in Greater Manchester.
This Dementia Call for Evidence Survey will help the health and social care system in Greater Manchester to consider the needs of Black African and Caribbean people living with dementia and their carers who are offered care and support, no matter where they live.

Demographic information:

However, ACCG together with Dementia United would like to gather views and perspectives specifically from Black African and Caribbean people across the city. We would like to collect some background information from participants.
