The experience of developing dementia while in employment has been explored from the point of view of the employee, but less is known about the perspectives, experiences and needs of employers.

Recently published by the Society of Occupational Medicine, this new study (led by a team from the Institute’s Centre for Dementia) systematically reviewed literature about the management of employees who develop dementia whilst in employment.

The study has been able to identify key themes and areas where guidance and examples of good practice could be provided to employers, in order to better support employees.
