Forth Valley Dementia Project
About the Project
The Forth Valley Dementia Project illustrates how multi-disciplinary co-operation can improve the provision for dementia care. In 2007, the DSDC secured a Scottish Government grant to undertake a dementia improvement programme in the Forth Valley area.
The aims of the one-year project were threefold:
- • to determine the needs of people with dementia
- • find out what services were available
- • devise ways of improving the provision of care The Forth Valley Dementia
Project was officially launched with a convention on 19 April 2007. Ideas gathered from the event, along with others generated from subsequent events and meetings, were translated into a wealth of activity within the Forth Valley area. This has made a significant contribution to improving services for people with dementia in the area.
The project finished at the end of March 2008 and the findings have been published in the Forth Valley Dementia Report.
