Connecting You to Support: Dementia rehabilitation. Ideas from lived experience, policy, practice and research

As an allied health professional (AHP) dementia community we have developed a National AHP Dementia Webinar series where we share practice, connect people, to support.

In our AHP Dementia webinar in June 2026, people joined this interactive session to learn about dementia rehabilitation in Scotland. Hear from the perspectives of lived experience, from policy, from practice, as well as research. Our guest presenters were

Rynagh Flynn, Scottish Demetia Working Group, Active Voice, Alzheimer Scotland

Ian Tomney, National Dementia Carers Action Network, Active Voice, Alzheimer Scotland

Fiona MacLean, Professor, Edinburgh Napier University

Laura Bolton, Music Therapist, Nazareth Care
