Dementia across the UK

The document discusses dementia in Wales and the challenges faced. Over 900,000 people in the UK have dementia, including 42,000 in Wales, and rates are expected to rise significantly. While some government actions have been taken, dementia remains underdiagnosed and diagnosed late. Existing inequalities are amplified for those in rural areas, ethnic minorities, and non-native English speakers. Under- and late diagnosis costs the UK over £3 billion annually in healthcare and unpaid care. The discussion focuses on improving support for those living with dementia through earlier diagnosis and addressing barriers and inequalities.

This document discusses the growing global challenge of dementia. By 2050, the number of people living with dementia worldwide is projected to nearly triple to 131.5 million. Currently, the global economic cost of dementia is $818 billion and is expected to escalate with increasing numbers affected. While a pharmacological breakthrough seems unlikely, the document advocates for a civic responsibility approach where society as a whole owns the issue of dementia. This involves creating dementia-friendly communities through initiatives like Dementia Friends that educate the public on how to support those with dementia. The goal is for people to be able to live well with dementia.

Foundations

This document discusses the challenges facing social landlords, including an aging population, increasing disability and health issues among tenants, and the rising costs of upgrading aging housing stock to meet accessibility needs. It notes that over 45% of social housing tenants are now over age 55, and disability rates are twice as high among social housing residents compared to other tenure types. The document recommends cost-effective solutions like installing flexible, universally designed bathrooms and kitchens that can be easily adapted over time as tenants' needs change. It highlights the expertise and solutions offered by AKW, a company specializing in accessibility products, to help social landlords meet these challenges.

This document provides a summary of key demographic trends and issues related to aging populations both internationally and in the UK. Some of the main points covered include: - Life expectancy is increasing globally and people are living longer, including greater numbers of people over age 85 and 100. - Health issues and care needs tend to increase with age, including higher rates of disability, dementia, and other chronic conditions in older populations. - Social factors like isolation, income, and access to services are also important issues affecting quality of life for older adults. - Maintaining good health, social engagement, learning, and community participation can help offset some challenges of aging.

Economics of dementia care adelina comas herrera athea vienna 28 november 14

Adelina Comas-Herrera

This document summarizes a presentation on the economics of dementia care. It discusses three main topics: 1) ways to decrease future cases of dementia through prevention and treatment; 2) ensuring adequate financing for dementia care; and 3) improving spending on dementia care through evidence-based interventions. The presentation notes that dementia care costs are rising rapidly and will require much more spending. It emphasizes the need for prevention, adequate funding mechanisms, and using research evidence to optimize care delivery and shift spending from "bad" to "good" costs.

Health and wealth

socialsubjects

Wealth in the UK is measured based on assets like housing, pensions, savings, and income sources like employment, benefits, and self-employment. While the UK has a GDP per capita of £17,300, making it the 19th richest in the OECD and 24th richest country globally, relative and absolute poverty remain issues, with relative poverty defined as lacking necessities and absolute poverty as being deprived of basic needs. Poverty levels grew in the 1980s when the richest 10% saw income rise 65% while the poorest saw a 13% drop, and have remained high, with 1 in 4 people and 1 in 3 children living in poverty. Recent trends show fewer poor families with children or pensioners,

This document summarizes a study examining the disproportionate impact of government spending cuts on women living in the London borough of Islington. It finds that Islington has experienced the highest percentage cuts of any London borough. Through interviews and data analysis, the study shows the cuts are having a severe impact across Islington but are affecting women the most. Vulnerable groups are particularly suffering as cuts across multiple areas like jobs, benefits and services are cumulatively impacting their lives. Specific demographic groups are struggling to cope with multiple simultaneous cuts.

The document discusses the public health impacts of austerity measures in the UK since 2010. It summarizes evidence that (1) funding cuts have disproportionately affected areas with the highest health needs, (2) homelessness is associated with much worse health outcomes and higher health care costs compared to the general population, and (3) the principle of proportionate universalism suggests that more disadvantaged groups require greater investment to improve health equity.

Palliative and End of Life Care conference. 27/10/2016 London

mckenln

Palliative and End of Life Care: Supporting Patient Choice discusses end of life care. It notes that approximately 500,000 people die each year in England, with deaths expected to rise. Once people used to die young, now they generally die old from chronic conditions like cancer and heart disease rather than acute issues. National surveys show people want honest discussions about treatment options, personalised care plans, and a main contact at the end of life. Challenges to providing high quality end of life care include staff stress, limited resources, and ensuring time for reflection. The document advocates for recognizing when death is approaching, focusing on human kindness, listening to family concerns, and giving patients choice in their care.

Death from liver disease : Implications for end of life care in England

NHS IQ legacy organisations

Death from liver disease : Implications for end of life care in England 22 March 2012 This report presents the latest data on place of death for those with liver disease and shows how this varies with sex, age, region, socioeconomic deprivation and place. It is aimed at commissioners and providers of end of life care, clinicians caring for patients with liver disease, and others concerned with providing quality end of life care for this patient group, including patients themselves and their carers. Some key findings: Liver disease causes approximately 2% of all deaths The number of people who die from liver disease in England is rising (from 9,231 in 2001 to 11,575 in 2009) More men than women die from liver disease (60% are men, 40% women) Alcoholic liver disease accounts for well over a third (37%) of liver disease deaths.

The health of the nation - older, sicker, fatter! By Dr John Searle Obe

ukactive

This document discusses the poor health of the population in the UK due to lack of exercise and rising obesity levels. It notes that sedentary lifestyles were issues even in ancient times, but that regular physical activity provides significant health benefits. However, most adults do not meet the minimum exercise recommendations, and obesity rates are projected to rise dramatically. As a result, the population suffers from many preventable diseases that place a huge financial burden on the healthcare system. Regular exercise is presented as a key way to reduce disease risk and promote healthy aging.
