Over 25,000 older people from minority ethnic backgrounds live with dementia in the UK. Research suggests that these communities often face inequalities across the dementia care pathway and often don't receive/access support until crisis point. Our modern society is wonderfully diverse with a range of cultures and ethnicities, with their own traditions, languages, and religions.

When dealing with the challenges of dementia, individuals, their families, and communities from minority ethnic backgrounds-must be provided with appropriate advice, care, and support. Drawing on the evidence base, as well as personal and professional experience, chapters cover stigma surrounding the disease, promoting dementia awareness, risk factors for developing dementia, and much more. With an account of key issues and needs for people from minority ethnic communities at each stage of life with dementia, readers are given practical examples of culturally sensitive support, services, and interventions.



Ethnicity and culture uniquely influence the experience of living with dementia. Structured around the 'dementia journey', this practical guide includes pre-diagnosis, assessment, diagnosis, post-diagnostic care, including considerations around end-of-life and coping following bereavement.

This excellent book deserves to become a core textbook on any training course on dementia for health and social care professionals. Jan Oyebode and Sahdia Parveen set out to draw together research and practical experience about the ways that being from a minority ethnic group impacts on a person's experiences of dementia and then to highlight what sort of support is needed or beneficial. They have fully succeeded in these aims and have provided a vital resource not just for clinicians, health and social care workers and managers but also for anyone with an interest in dementia care. -- Richard Cheston, Professor of Dementia Research UWE Bristol Deeply insightful and packed with practical tools. This book brings culture, identity and care together in a way that is clear, practical and respectful. Full of tools, insightful stories and effective strategies, it serves as a powerful call to action for creating inclusive care. A must read for all in the dementia world. -- Ripaljeet Kaur, System and Leadership Development Facilitator, West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board An inspiring, readable book, giving voice to ignored, underserved minority ethnic people with dementia and their families. Practical examples from highly contemporary, culturally informed research illuminate the individuality of dementia and the diversity within and between minority ethnic communities, members and their families. -- Dr Mary Tilki, Retired Nurse, Lecturer, Researcher, Former Chair of Irish in Britain, Co-founder and Patron of Cuimhne, Irish Memory Loss Alliance A powerful, evidence informed compilation of knowledge and guidance to advance care for those whose often on the fringes of attention. For researchers and health practitioners, this book is about systems of care that work to drive equity at a critical stage of the life. -- Professor Shivani Sharma, Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research and Enterprise), Aston University, Birmingham
