A recent webinar, held in the latter part of 2023 and highlighting an informative new book that has been produced by Scottish Allied Health Professional (AHP) colleagues, was attended by members of the Scottish Dementia Working Group (SDWG). The publication examines how core elements of occupational therapy may support a person living with dementia through valued activity in continuing engagement, sustaining their identity and sense of purpose. It includes a foreword by SDWG member Margaret McCallion, who is also Vice-Chairperson of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD) and during the webinar, Margaret read her contribution to the book, which closed with her plea to “always see the person as a person”. Contributing authors include EWGPWD Chairperson Chris Roberts and his wife and supporter Jayne Goodrick.
