World Alzheimer’s Month tales place every September and is a global campaign to raise awareness around and demystify dementia.

Mr Day, SNP spokesperson for Health and Social Care, said: “A dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming, and for many older people who have received a diagnosis it can feel like everything has changed. However, a diagnosis of dementia doesn’t necessarily mean older people have to stop doing the things they enjoy.
