New dementia strategy for Scotland: Everyone's Story

Acknowledgments

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the development of this strategy. We often talk about ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ when publishing work that has been informed and shaped by people who have brought years of knowledge and experience and share a vision for a better future.

This has been such an experience.

A special thank you to the newly established National Dementia Lived Experience Panel that came together over a series of busy meetings to share their experiences and steer the work that led to this strategy.

Thank you also to the Strategy Advisory Group that has added wide-ranging professional knowledge and expertise to the Conversation.

While we want this strategy to be everyone’s story, you’ll see a that a small number of unique experiences are highlighted throughout. Use a smartphone to click onto the QR codes to engage with their stories.

This strategy has been illustrated by Willy Gilder, a sketch artist and member of the National Dementia Lived Experience Panel. Particular thanks for your inspired contribution, Willy.
