Although a full Needs Assessment (NA) for Dementia in Suffolk was completed in November 2013, since then national policy, prevalence estimates, guidance on service provision and research findings related to dementia have continued to evolve1.

Taking these factors into account, this document updates and refreshes the 2013 Needs Assessment for dementia in Suffolk, and draws conclusions about the local population and the evidence for effective service models and interventions. This update does not cover every area in the 2013 Needs Assessment, for example, the work on stakeholder and user experience has not been repeated due to time constraints, and should therefore be read in conjunction with the 2013 Needs Assessment.
