AnnotationThe 'Living Together with Dementia' (LTwD) course aims to be a bridge between diagnosis and living well with dementia, supported as needed by family, friends, community, the NHS and third sector organisations. This article outlines LTwD's aims, practices (e.g. recovery principles) and outcomes. While there are challenges, it is possible to provide a well-received large group intervention to people with a wide range of cognitive abilities and different types of dementia. (RH).
