Dementia Champions
We currently have 22 Dementia Champions throughout NHS Forth Valley with a further five due to complete the course in 2016. The champions meet monthly so that they are provided with updates of the work being undertaken for the National Dementia Strategy which they are then asked to disseminate to their clinical areas. The meetings also provide opportunities for the Champions to discuss any areas for improvement in their own environments. Staff members should familiarise themselves with their nearest Dementia Champion. The Dementia Champions also use many of their meetings to organise teaching sessions which all staff are welcome to attend. Ward SCNs will all have a copy of the future training topics and dates.
