It’s estimated that one in 14 people aged over 65 has dementia, and the likelihood of developing it increases significantly with age. In fact, one in six people over 80 live with the condition.
It is an unpredictable and progressive disease, with no cure at present. Carers and those with dementia can find themselves isolated, frustrated and emotionally exhausted.
In this webinar we've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at what dementia is and the unique challenges of being a carer for someone with dementia. We explore some of the not-so-obvious lifestyle changes that help lower our risk. Lastly, we examine the support available through the Bank Workers Charity and the innovation in dementia support generally.
This webinar is designed for and open to all - those who have no experience of caring or dementia and those who do.

In this webinar from the Bank Workers Charity, we’ll see how cancer is becoming a wellbeing priority in the workplace. We'll also look at the issues faced by someone living with cancer and consider the kinds of workplace support that can be most helpful to them. This is a free webinar and open to all members.
Every demographic has its own critical issues when it comes to healthcare. For men, two things stand out. The suicide rate is worryingly high, whilst prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. The persistence of these health issues and others among men is aggravated by their reluctance to visit their GP, to seek help from a counsellor or to ask for support. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at how we can create a work culture where it is safe to come forward to talk about abuse and access support. We also look at examples of the support available through the Bank Workers Charity. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
