“Visiting Alzheimer Scotland gave students valuable insight into how third sector organisations operate in practice. Hearing from fellow students supported peer learning while exploring the charity’s work in fundraising, engagement and post‑diagnostic support brought classroom learning to life. We are very grateful for our ongoing partnership in developing a dementia‑informed AHP workforce in Scotland.” Ashleigh Gray, Practice Education Lead, Edinburgh Napier University
