Outcomes:
- An information poster about the signs and symptoms of dementia was produced for use by primary health care workers for the Traveller Community
- As a result of the training from The Society perspective we understood more about the resources that are needed to improve awareness about dementia in the Traveller Community but also a deeper understanding of the needs of Travellers and the issues they are faced with
