Post-diagnostic support
Focus on dementia
Post-diagnostic support is an area of focus for the Focus on Dementia team in Healthcare Improvement Scotland. The team have developed two improvement resources to support people living with dementia and their carers:
- A quality improvement framework for dementia post-diagnostic support in Scotland, and
- A self-assessment tool.
These resources help to improve the delivery of support after a dementia diagnosis.
The two resources are listed below. You can access them by clicking on the resource title and they will open in a new browser window. The resources are hosted on the post-diagnostic support improvement resources page of the Healthcare Improvement Scotland website, where you can find out a bit more about the resources and the work of the Focus on Dementia team.
The purpose of this framework is to set out what is expected from high quality dementia post-diagnostic support.
The framework and self-assessment tool are for practitioners delivering post-diagnostic support and managers of post-diagnostic support services.
