Interested people are invited to sign up to the National Dementia Cooperative website, which has been developed off the Health Improvement and Innovation Resource Centre site.

“The National Dementia Cooperative microsite will help ensure information about the Cooperatives work is readily accessible and available,” said a spokesperson from the recently formed multidisciplanry cooperative.
