Future-Proofing the Alzheimer’s Disease Healthcare JourneyEmerging Best Practices Across EuropeEmerging Best Practices Across Europe3What We Found? This report captures a growing movement across Europe: one where local initiatives, often spearheaded by dedicated professionals and institutions, are pioneering scalable, person-centred solutions to address long-standing gaps in AD diagnosis and care. These efforts are not theoretical; they are happening now. We identify digital tools that are making early diagnosis more accessible, multidisciplinary care models that are improving quality of life, and data registries that are guiding more strategic policy and resource allocation. What sets this report apart is its emphasis on proven successes. It highlights real-world examples that demonstrate how, even in the face of health system constraints, meaningful progress is possible.Figure 1. Emerging Best Practices in AD Care Across Europe.

Why Now? To our knowledge, this report represents the first detailed attempt to identify, document, and disseminate effective, scalable solutions in AD awareness, diagnosis, and care across Europe. It aims to show how, independently of broader health system challenges, targeted interventions can address critical gaps in the experiences of people living with AD and those who support them. By bringing forward real-world examples from multiple countries, the report offers a practical blueprint that others can adapt or replicate, whether to inspire local innovation or inform national strategies. This is critically needed given the scale and urgency of the AD challenge. Millions are currently living with AD, and the numbers are projected to nearly double by 2050. European governments have increasingly acknowledged the need for coordinated action, with many adopting national strategies focusing on early diagnosis, integrated care, public education and support for those providing care. However, implementation remains uneven, as stigma, underutilisation of primary care and inadequate public awareness continue to hinder timely detection. These challenges are compounded by persistent disparities in access, workforce shortages, and funding constraints. This report responds to that reality. It draws on insights from diverse stakeholders and highlights practical opportunities for progress. It is intended to inform policymakers, who are being called to invest in their countries’ readiness, on where efforts should be placed to ensure that the journey of people living with AD and those who support them is as smooth, timely, and equitable as possible.
