Here are some more sites about dementia, in no particular order.
NHS Choices' dementia pages, with links to information on specific types of dementia, a forum, and the
option of Dementia Information Service emails. This is a series of weekly emails, lasting six weeks, aimed at people recently diagnosed with dementia, or their families. The first covers "what is dementia" and has links to sources of further information.
