Dementia programmes
We work to improve:
- post-diagnostic support
- care co-ordination in the community
- hospital care for people living with dementia
We have been delivering dementia improvement programmes since 2016. We work with health and social care dementia services in all our programmes. Our work supports the Scottish Government dementia strategy for Scotland: Everyone’s story.
