We are delighted to be hosting this event. The partnership with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has opened the doors for all professionals working in emergency situations. They will have the opportunity to consider how their services are future proofed and become capable and confident in working with people with dementia in emergency situations.Anna Waugh, University of the West of Scotland
Dementia is now the biggest health and social care challenge faced by society today. It’s important that we all work together help make sure nobody faces dementia alone as number of people living with dementia rises.Henry Simmons, Chief Executive of Alzheimer Scotland
Henry Simmons, Chief Executive of Alzheimer Scotland, added: “All organisations and communities have an important part to play now to help challenge the scale of dementia, so we are thrilled to work with our partners UWS and the emergency services to help transform the lives of people with dementia, their carers and families by helping to improve awareness of dementia, increase community support and help reduce the stigma associated with the illness.”
