Alzheimer Scotland’s Active Voice includes both the Scottish Dementia Working Group (SDWG) and the National Dementia Carers Action Network (NDCAN). Dementia Awareness Week 2024, which took place from 27 May to 2 June, started with both groups being well represented at the launch of a report which provides recommendations on the Future of Long Term Care in Scotland. This radical report was produced by a ‘commission’ which was specifically set up in 2022 to review options in relation to long-term care. Members of both SDWG and NDCAN have been key members of the commission from its outset and indeed, contributed to the content of the report. In recognition of their involvement, Kenny (pictured, right) from SDWG and then Bill (pictured, left) from NDCAN gave a presentation at this well-attended event and both outlined what long-term care means to them, and why the recommendations of this new report are so important.
