A lovely couple of sunny days in the Borders. A fantastic opportunity to come together, share knowledge and gain an understanding of how both the national and local dementia strategies are being delivered.
Some great examples of good practice whilst of course many areas of improvements remain 💬📝 🧠

Today, our team is at the @carersscotland.bsky.social
Health and Wellbeing Summit at Glasgow City Chambers to celebrate Carers Scotland's 60th anniversary.

Come say hi and learn more about our work supporting dementia care and unpaid carers! 💙

We were delighted to welcome @mareetodd.bsky.social
to meet our dementia team yesterday!

We had great discussions on our carer engagement work, community funding, and the importance of inclusivity in dementia support. Excited to keep driving positive change together! #dementiasupport #agescotland

Please read our blog for International Women's Day, following a typical day for June who cares for her husband who is living with dementia. With unpaid caring responsibilities disproportionately impacting women, there must be better support in place!

Having written my master's dissertation on feminist urban planning in Scotland and interviewing @hollybruce.bsky.social as part of this, it's great to see this progressing!
