Dementia Strategy 2018-2023
The South Ayrshire Integration Joint Board at its meeting on 12th September 2018, approved the new Dementia Strategy and Implementation Plan for the period 2018-2023. It sets out key strategic themes identified through discussions with service users' representatives, carers, staff, and the South Ayrshire Dementia Strategic Planning Group. Support will be designed and delivered in ways that:
- promote preventative activity
- will ensure that people with dementia get access to appropriate and timely interventions
- address environmental issues to better support people with dementia
- examine how care pathways might be adapted to better support those with dementia
- provide options in the way people can choose to receive support;
- ensure that the needs of carers are fully considered; and
- protect people with dementia from harm
The Strategy is available below:
