Alzheimer Scotland is committed to improving the lives and opportunities of people with dementia, their carers, partners and families as their journey transitions from the first point of contact through to end of life and believes nobody should face dementia alone.

The SDWG campaign locally and nationally to improve services for people with dementia and to improve attitudes towards people with dementia.
Alzheimer Scotland's National Dementia Carers Action Network (NDCAN) is a national campaigning and awareness raising group whose members all have experience of caring for someone with dementia. The group has a core belief that carers should be an integral part of the planning and implementation of health and social care policy and practice, and that all professionals and organisations should acknowledge carers' experience and unique knowledge of the people they care for as valuable and equal to that of professionals.
