INTRODUCTION:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD),
also referred to as
Alzheimer’s is one of the
chronic neurodegenerative
disease.
It has been observed that
the disease tend to initiate
slowly and gradually the
condition worsens over time.
The cause of Alzheimer's
have been very vague and is
very poorly understood.
Is considered one of the
major reasons for 60% to

OBJECTIVES:
 To map out the range of
Alzheimer’s spreading
throughout UK
 To describe the essential
needs of the UK population on
the basis of using
epidemiological, quantitative
and qualitative data.
 Discuss and describe the
interventions that can help
and reduce or make people
more aware about the burden
of the disease. Help in
providing evidence based
study from various literature
using those interventions.
 To make a format of all the
actions that need to be taken

RISK FACTORS:
 Researchers have been still
struggling to find out the actual
reason of the cause of
Alzheimer’s disease
 The main and only way to
acknowledge that the person is
suffering from Alzheimer’s or
there is an onset of the disease
 The main risk factors can be
considered as the: age, where
the risk of developing Alzheimer’
increases with the increase in
age.
 The gender of the patient seems
to play an important role in the
development of such disease.
The women are seen to be more

EPIDEMIOLOGY
The first case registered for Alzheimer’s was in
the 1906 and was registered under Dr. Alois
Alzheimer. The patient was described to be
suffering from severe paranoia and memory
loss along with psychological changes.
The 2014 Dementia UK report estimated that
there will be a total amount of 850,000 patient
suffering from dementia in the next year 2015
and the estimation for the cost of dementia
would lead up to £26billion
The number are supposed to increase over a
million by the year 2021 and over 2 million by

CONTINUED..
Dementia is
considered as one of
the main causes of
the disability in the
later stages of an
individual’s life
According to the wide
consensus
consultation for the
World Health
Organization's Global
Burden of Disease
report, the disability
caused due to

HEALTH INTERVENTIONS TO TREAT ALZHEIMER’S
With the progress in the Alzheimer’s
disease, it becomes very difficult for people
o perform on their own
Currently there has been no cure found to
treat Alzheimer’s
These non-drug interventions include art
therapy, memory and orientation exercises,
music therapy, aromatherapy and being in
contact with animals.

COGNITIVE THERAPY APPROACHES
 The term “cognitive” is
used for everything that
explains any of the mental
abilities of an individual.
There are various types of
cognitive interventions
(Amieva et al, 2016) for
people with mild to
moderate Alzheimer’s
 They may include things like
solving maths, or
performing exercises in
which a set of series that
includes numbers are to be
completed or images need
to recognized
 exercises with puzzles along
with practicing exercises
are offered in either one-on-

REALITY ORIENTATION TRAINING
 This therapy aims to
help improve people’s
orientation in space and
time.
 It involves in repeatedly
giving people with basic
information regarding
Alzheimer's such as with
respect to the date time
and place.

ACTION PLAN FOR ALZHEIMER’S IN UK
 Increase in the
investment to promote
more research to
undermine the cost of
dementia
 Get more people
involved o find and a
perfect intervention to
treat or cure dementia
or Alzheimer’s (Amieva

STEERING GROUP
 The Steering Group consists of individuals who have
considerable knowledge of dementia and the health and social
care sector.
 People with dementia and carers are also represented on the
Steering Group. The Steering Group should cover both health
and social care perspectives.
 Individuals who have been elected by the wider membership
and individuals who have been nominated by the Secretariat
based on how they can support the objectives of the DAA.
 All members of the Steering Group should be committed to
advancing the objectives of the DAA.
 Jeremy Hughes joined Alzheimer's Society in November 2010. He
has led the charity in producing a campaign on “delivering in
Dementia” in 2011-12 the Society's income exceeded £70m for
the first time
 Professor Alistair Burns is the National Clinical Director for
Dementia at NHS England. His research and clinical interests are
in mental health problems of older people, particularly dementia
and Alzheimer’s disease. He has published over 300 papers and
25 books.

EVALUATING ALZHEIMER’S
To diagnose Alzheimer's
dementia, your primary doctor, a
doctor trained in brain conditions
(neurologist) or a doctor trained
to treat older adults (geriatrician)
will review your medical history,
medication history and your
symptoms.
The doctor may ask about
whether the patient is suffering
from impaired memory or
disparity in thinking skills
Whether there are changes in

CONCLUSION
Most common and is very prevalent in UK
Exact cause is not fully understood but although is
at risk with the developing condition
Can affect memory and thinking skills
Decline in brain functioning
Caused with an increase in age
A family history of the condition can lead to the
occurrence of such a disease
No cure is found but can be treated with non
medical therapies and they are found out to be
very useful
Psychological treatments such as cognitive
stimulation therapy may also be offered to help
support your memory, problem solving skills and
language ability.
