‘We have dementia, but we have the same human rights as everyone else.’
People with dementia have the same rights as others but can face barriers in having their rights respected & fulfilled.
As part of the Social Change Initiative, The Dementia Programme in Northern Ireland aimed to improve dementia care.
Dementia NI members helped set out a vision for a sustained role to shape policies & services that affect their lives and are calling for more involvement in designing the policies and services that affect them.
You may recognise a few familiar voices in the video.
