Transformational Leadership in Action

An AHP Dementia Webinar

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 2025, we moved all the webinars to be delivered on the Microsoft teams’ platform.

In our AHP Dementia webinar in November 2025, people joined us to hear the impact of three Connecting People Connecting Support (CPCS) AHP leadership roles and the impact the AHP leadership roles had to supporting local communities, the AHP workforce and integrated the voices of lived experience of dementia in Scotland. Our guest presenters & former AHP Clinical Leads for Connecting People Connecting Support:  

  • Angela Pointon, NHS Grampian
  • Gillian Trotter,  NHS Lanarkshire
  • Angela Watson, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde

You can view all our AHP Dementia webinars here and over the next few months we will be sharing the full report on the impact of the AHP CPCS leadership roles. You will find the report at www.alzscot.org/ahpresources.
