Reshaping Dementia services in East Dunbartonshire
East Dunbartonshire Council and partners have developed an innovative response to the challenge of delivering dementia care to the ageing local population. The Dementia Clinic Advisory Service is built on a model of co-production and choice for people with dementia.
It is a service co-designed and delivered by a network of third sector providers. Already the service delivery model is helping to reshape services and reduce pressure on frontline Council services and budgets. It is also a model that could be replicated by other local authorities in Scotland to meet the current and substantial future challenges in dementia care facing the country.
