We’re looking for frontline staff who provide care to people with dementia to participate in the co-design of new dementia resources. The project is to develop easily accessible and understood resources to support the frontline social care workforce in their caring role for people living with dementia, who may be experiencing stress and distress, and their families. The resources will support improvements in person-centred care to reduce stress and distress for people through appropriate assessment, care planning and meaningful connections and activity.

Please take part in this survey here by Thursday 31 October.

We're also holding two stakeholder workshop events. These are aimed at frontline social care staff. During these workshops, we will explore what resources you feel would make a difference and why. As part of this survey, there is an opportunity to apply for attendance at these events. These events will be held on:

  • 21 October 2024, Dundee
  • 24 October 2024, Glasgow

It is anticipated that the resources identified will be developed by the end of the year and these will be tested with social care staff in early 2025.
