World Alzheimer's Day

Faces of dementia

The theme for World Alzheimer's Day™ 2011 was 'Faces of dementia'

In our materials and activities ADI and Alzheimer associations across the world focused on the many issues surrounding the 'Faces of dementia'. Members of the public and key decision-makers were asked if they recognised the face of dementia, while tribute was paid to those who represent the 'Faces of dementia' in all parts of the world.

Every year on 21 September Alzheimer associations across the globe unite to recognise World Alzheimer's Day and 2011 was no exception with events taking place internationally. We are confident that the large numbers of people involved and the media coverage these events will gain can make a real difference for people with dementia, their families and carers worldwide.
