In 2019 organisations in Sheffield across the NHS, Sheffield City Council, and voluntary/community sector organisations started working together on actions to improve the lives of people living with dementia – and their (family/informal) carers - as part of our first Sheffield Dementia Strategy (2019-2024). Our vision is to make sure people with dementia are supported to live life to their full potential.
Our plans have been – and continue to be - based on what people with dementia, their carers, and people working with people with dementia, had said was important to them. We have checked our progress regularly to make sure we had been making a difference, including by asking people with dementia and their family carers what their experiences have been.
In 2023/24, as we started to reach the end of the current Strategy, we carried out a period of review and engagement. Through this engagement we have updated and reshaped our Strategy to ensure that it will continue to help us to improve dementia care and support between 2025-2030.
Within the 2025-2030 Strategy we have nine commitments that describe how we will do this.
