National Dementia Carers Action Network (NDCAN) members Joanna and Marion were proud to represent Alzheimer Scotland’s Active Voice at the signing of a new strategic partnership agreement in relation to the Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice (ASCPP) at University of the West of Scotland (UWS). By combining their expertise, UWS and Alzheimer Scotland, through the ASCPP, are making a significant difference in the lives of families affected by dementia and improving standards of care. As members of NDCAN, Joanna and Marion have formed strong ties with colleagues at the ASCPP. Indeed, lived experience has been central to the work of the ASCPP since its inception in 2013, and the involvement of both the Scottish Dementia Working Group (SDWG) and NDCAN members has been key to the success.
