Dementia-friendly Wigan
Dementia support & resources in Wigan
We are encouraging pharmacies in the Wigan locality to join Wigan Dementia Action Alliance. A Dementia Action Alliance (DAA) brings groups, organisations and businesses together to improve the lives of people with dementia. Greater Manchester LPC has joined the DAAs across Greater Manchester. To join, complete a short action plan with a few steps you will take to become more dementia-friendly.
