Carers: Today marks the start of Dementia Awareness Week. Carers offer love and support, but caring can be challenging. Remember to take breaks, seek support, and celebrate small moments. Check out our AHP resources. alzscot.org/ahpresources #DAW2025

This year's theme for Dementia Awareness Week is #friendship. Keeping a journal or memory book can be a great tool for keeping note of any updates or news that friends give you, as well as details of social events that you have attended. #WithOTuCAN
