Dementia Education

Promoting Excellence Framework

To support the educational actions arising from Scotland’s National Dementia Strategy the Scottish Government (SG) commissioned NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) to produce Promoting Excellence: A framework for all health and social services staff working with people with dementia, their families and carers this provides a guide to the level of skill and knowledge staff require when working with people living with dementia

There are several education and learning opportunities to equip staff with the knowledge and understanding to meet the different practice levels identified in the Promoting Excellence Framework (2021), within their workplace and area of practice. Further information on each is available by clicking in the name of the training.
