Dementia Strategy Engagement

The Scottish Government's National Strategy for Scotland: Everyone’s Story was launched in 2023 and sets out a ten-year vision for improving dementia care, support, and services across Scotland. The strategy can be found here:  http://www.gov.scot/publications/new-dementia-strategy-scotland-everyones-story/documents/ 

In Fife, we recognise the importance of local ownership of this vision and therefore we have established a local dementia strategy working group.  This group includes people responsible for delivering dementia services and support, alongside local organisations and individuals with lived experience. Together, we will shape how Fife responds to the national vision, developing a local plan that ensures high-quality, person-centred dementia support.

To help shape the local action plan, we want to hear from people who use dementia services, their families and carers, and members of the public to help us ensure that our approach reflects local needs and priorities, builds on existing strengths in dementia care and support and addresses gaps and challenges which are unique to Fife.
