Derby and Derbyshire Brain Health Toolkit

The Derby and Derbyshire Brain Health Toolkit is a practical, evidence‑informed resource designed to support conversations and action around brain health and dementia risk reduction. It explains how everyday lifestyle factors can help protect brain health across the life course.

Developed collaboratively with system partners and people with lived experience, the toolkit provides clear, consistent messages that staff in any role can use. It is not a new service, but a simple tool that supports and strengthens the prevention and wellbeing work already happening across Derby and Derbyshire.

How staff can use the toolkit

  • Build confidence in talking about brain health and dementia risk reduction
  • Support brief, positive conversations with residents, colleagues, and communities
  • Use clear, consistent messages aligned with national and local priorities
  • Signpost people to local services and practical support
  • Embed brain‑healthy messages into everyday work, regardless of role

Even brief conversations can make a difference.
