COST OF DEMENTIA 

Every 3 seconds somebody in the world is diagnosed with dementia. Currently 55 million people worldwide and 900,000 in the UK have dementia. Globally there are another 18 million people with undiagnosed dementia.

50% of UK families of people with dementia typically devote more than 100 hours of unpaid care a week. Globally, families pay £5.15 billion per year, more than any statutory body. This contributes to a total global dementia spend, equivalent to the 14th largest economy in the world.

Our founder Dr Carol Sargent and her family have first hand experience of the helplessness of the person diagnosed with dementia, their family and friends.

A REALITY CHECK 

Numerous diseases are categorised as dementia including Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease (MND), Lewy Bodies dementia, and Huntington’s Disease.

Families have little prospect of halting cognitive decline as state-funded health services have no prescription medicines capable of halting the disease, leaving families no choice but to shoulder the financial and caring burden. 

Newly-approved drugs are available to only 30% of those with early Alzheimer’s. They lack long-term evidence of efficacy and safety in real life treatment settings.

Prescription medications available, only ameliorate symptoms.
