At Home Harmony’s Post

Vision impairment on a global scale is enormous – it affects one in four people, half of whom are not able to get the care they need. But that can change. Research by Seva shows that for every $1 put into eye health, $36 is returned in benefits, such as productivity, learning, or higher income. A contribution – no matter the size – can make an exponential impact. In fact, donors can do 6x more good by investing in eye health compared to a typical investment across all of global development. Vision is required in nearly every aspect of culture, country, and community. With your support, we can put an end to avoidable blindness and allow individuals to see a better tomorrow.

We are looking forward to attending the first of what we hope will be a series of NHSE roundtable events to help develop a shared understanding of: 1) the challenges people with dementia face in accessing the care and support they need from the health service, 2) the latest expectations of potential treatments, 3) policy opportunities to affect lasting change e.g., DHSC’s Major Conditions Strategy; 4) identifying the sum of the collective actions of attendees and how well they meet the scale of the challenge 5) agree actions to help meet the challenges. The first stage of this process is identifying what policy teams across NHS England are doing that intersects in some way with dementia. The aim will be to highlight areas that are not currently addressed and where there are opportunities to do so. Throughout, our contributions from Dementia Change Action Network #DCan will be guided by the principles of personalisation and what matters most to people with dementia and/or family/friend carers. We will also look for opportunities to bring in wider views across our network to explore some of the same or similar questions and themes, always asking who isn’t being heard and how can we help make sure they are?
