It aims to empower people with dementia, their carers, social and health care professionals by providing information about dementia and the support and care services available to them in Kent and Medway.
The Organisations behind DementiaWeb
DementiaWeb is owned and managed by Guideposts
Trust, a registered charity with headquarters in Oxfordshire. Guideposts
Trust started their first DementiaWeb in 2005 in Oxfordshire. It was created
in collaboration with local partners working in the dementia field in
Oxfordshire through the Oxfordshire Dementia Forum.
Kent and Medway Dementia Collaborative commissioned a Kent countywide
version of DementiaWeb in 2009. Building on the innovative dementia services
already established in Kent and Medway and responding to the requirements
of the National Dementia Strategy, it was decided that an interactive,
all-age, dementia-specific website would be a huge benefit to the community.

Kent and Medway Collaborative includes:
• The Alzheimer's Society
• Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services
• Kent County Council
• Kent Adult Social Services
• Department of Health
• Kent and Medway Partnership Trust
• Medway Council
• NHS Medway PCT
