What is dementia?

Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of neurological conditions that affect memory, thinking, and behaviour, which can affect people in different ways, depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 900,000 people are living with the condition.

Note that due to the nature of the condition, this can affect your ability to obtain travel insurance or the level of cover available.

Most people with dementia continue to travel as normal, and with a little planning and proper management of the condition, it can often be done safely and confidently.

Having the right travel insurance in place for dementia can help to cover:

Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons

Travel advice for people with a neurological condition

Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed
Keep medication and medical information with you at all times
Avoid situations that may trigger symptoms where possible
Take regular breaks if fatigue or dizziness affects you

During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions - if relevant, you will need to declare dementia on the policy.

Travel insurance is often still possible for people with dementia. What we can offer depends on your diagnosis and how it is managed, and answering the medical declaration accurately helps us bring forward the right cover.
