Improving Care Co-ordination for People with Dementia in Inverclyde Report

Launching the Improving Care Co-ordination for People with Dementia in Inverclyde Report. The report was produced following an independent external evaluation of the work conducted by RSM UK Consulting LLP on behalf of the Scottish Government.

We are pleased to share the Improving Care co-ordination for People with Dementia in Inverclyde report. The report provides an overview of our care co-ordination in the community improvement programme which concluded in March 2022.

About the programme

The Care Co-ordination in the Community Improvement Programme was commissioned by the Scottish Government to improve access to high quality care co-ordination for people with dementia and carers in the community. Focus on Dementia, part of the Improvement Hub (ihub) at Healthcare Improvement Scotland, were the national lead for the programme on behalf of the Scottish Government, and worked in partnership with Alzheimer Scotland.

Taking a whole systems and pathway approach from diagnosis to end of life, the programme aimed to:

  • improve care co-ordination for people with dementia and their carers
  • develop and evaluate a model of effective care co-ordination for people with dementia and their carers, and
  • share learning across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Scotland and further afield.

About the report

The report provides an overview of the:

  • quality improvement methods used to support the programme
  • engagement with stakeholders during the programme

We would like to thank all those who contributed to this work and programme more widely.

Healthcare Improvement Scotland also produced an overview report outlining the key findings and our role in the programme.
