“Better screening will lead to earlier diagnosis, which will, in turn, improve patients’ quality of life.”

The Social Care Institute for Excellence echoes this thought on the importance of early diagnosis.

It explains that an early diagnosis can provide many long-awaited answers for failing memory, communication problems and changes in behaviour.

The health body adds: “An early diagnosis opens the door to future care and treatment. It helps people to plan ahead while they are still able to make important decisions on their care and support needs and on financial and legal matters.”

The number of people living with dementia in the UK is estimated at around 850,000, but the number is on course to grow in coming years.
