An AHP Dementia Webinar
In our AHP Dementia webinar in April 2025, people joined us to hear how allied health professionals from podiatry, physiotherapy and occupational therapy in Scotland have been working to improve access and raise awareness of how their services and skills can support people to live well with dementia. Our guest presenters were:
- Liz Oakley, Podiatrist, NHS Tayside
- Nicola Lauchlan,Physiotherapist, NHS Ayrshire and Arran
- Gail Hogg,Occupational therapist, NHS Fife
