The Brunton, Ladywell Way, Musselburgh

Scotland’s second 3 year National Dementia Strategy  was launched in 2013 with the aim of continuing to improve diagnosis rates and post-diagnostic support, ensuring the highest quality of care and support for people with dementia at every stage of the illness, improving service response in acute care and supporting the growth of dementia-friendly communities.

The Scottish Government is now reviewing the progress of strategy and a 3rdNational Dementia Strategy for Scotland will be produced in 2016.

This is a free event and is an opportunity for all interested parties across Scotland to comment on the progress of the strategy to date, identify the gaps, opportunities and priorities and to help shape the direction of the next strategy. If you have experience of dementia – as a person diagnosed, a family member, carer, or as a health, social care or housing professional or service manager and commissioner – we particularly welcome your views and participation at this event.
