Caregivers Information 

A one-day meeting will be held on 6th September 2012 for family members, friends and support workers who care for a person with frontotemporal dementia or related condition (semantic dementia or progressive aphasia). 

The meeting will be organised by members of the Cerebral Function Unit Carers group in liaison with the Association of Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) and the Pick’s disease support group, International and British lay organisations dedicated to improving the lives of families coping with frontotemporal dementia and advancing research into treatment and a cure.

The caregivers’ meeting will run in parallel with the main FTD conference, providing the opportunity for caregivers to listen to talks from international speakers.  The caregivers’ programme will cover the latest research findings as well as clinical, social and practical information relevant to FTD.

There will be a strong emphasis on informality and the day will provide a forum for interactivity and discussion. The goal is to facilitate communication between caregivers, lay organisations, health professionals and scientists with the aim of increasing understanding of FTD and improving the global provision of services to support families.
