This is the second round of a survey which aims to develop agreement on priorities for dementia care, research and government from the perspectives of people living with dementia, family care partners and those who provide direct care. As someone with knowledge about dementia, we invite you to take part in this study. You may have responded to the first round ‰ÛÒ if so THANK YOU! If not, please add your voice by taking part in round 2. You can call the number below to get help completing the survey over the phone. Or a paper survey and a pre-addressed, postage-paid envelop can be mailed to you if you would prefer this method instead of completing the survey online.åÊ The contact details are at the end of this message. We will combine the views of everyone who takes part in the survey.
