Thanks to SDWG members who contributed today to a facilitated meeting by the Scottish Government around the Dementia COVID-19 transition and recovery plan. Sharing experiences of living with dementia and the impact of the pandemic. Scottish Government Dementia Policy

Great to have attended this meeting, giving input from SDWG member Henry Rankin and to hear about the work being done supporting the workforce with continued training and support through the pandemic and we look forward to continuing to work together.

Tomorrow the group will be taking part in their first piece of work in 2021. We will be reviewing the script for an animation that looks to train healthcare staff on how to communicate effectively with people living with dementia. Excited to be #supportingworkforcedevelopment.

A fantastic turn out today as SDWG members gave feedback on the script for an upcoming animation which will be used as a training tool for health professionals. This animation looks at "Altered Reality" and the impact this can have on a person living with dementia.
