The 2023-2028 Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board Dementia Strategy aims to support those affected by dementia by enabling support services to provide early intervention and preventative support with timely information, and advice throughout the journey with dementia.

The Strategy includes a focus on holistic and personalised care under the sections ‘Supporting well’ and ‘Dying well’. The Strategy’s priorities include improving the quality of personalised care and support planning for people with dementia, including planning for the end of life, and improving post-diagnostic support and support for carers.
