Journeying through Dementia is a design-led enquiry which has explored the needs of individuals at an early point of their dementia journey. This has culminated in a research-informed treatment programme and an award-winning product that supports the delivery of this. The intervention directly supports the delivery of ambition one of Connecting People Connecting Support (Alzheimer Scotland, 2017, 2020)   

It is recommended the delivery of Journeying through Dementia remains a core role for Occupational Therapy in Scotland to support the delivery of Scotland’s Dementia Strategy (2023) Connecting People, Connecting Support (Alzheimer Scotland 2020) and the vision that rehabilitation empowers people to manage their health conditions (WHO 2023).
