Get a QuoteWhat is vascular dementia?
Vascular dementia is a type of dementia caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, often following strokes or damage to blood vessels, which can affect memory, thinking, and reasoning, and it can affect people in different ways depending on the severity of symptoms and how well it is managed. In the UK, around 180,000 people are living with vascular dementia.
Please note that if you have vascular dementia, the nature of the condition can affect your ability to obtain travel insurance or the level of cover available.
Most people with vascular 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, particularly with support from carers or family members.
Having the right travel insurance in place for vascular 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 those with a vascular condition
- Speak with your doctor before travelling if your condition has recently changed
- Keep medication and medical information with you at all times
- Avoid unfamiliar or overly complex environments where possible
- Take regular breaks if fatigue or confusion affects you
During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions - if relevant, you will need to declare vascular dementia on the policy.
Many people with vascular dementia can still arrange travel insurance with us. The cover available depends on the details of your diagnosis and how it is currently managed, so full and accurate answers in the medical declaration help us find the most suitable options.
