Frequently asked questions

Can you bring the person with dementia that you care for?

You are welcome to bring the person with dementia that you care for. A separate room will be available where Alzheimer Scotland staff will provide engaging activities. When you register for a place, you will be asked whether you plan to bring them along so we can make the necessary arrangements.

The Dementia Carers Education Programme has been developed through a partnership project of NHS Fife, Fife Health and Social Care Partnership, Alzheimer Scotland, Fife Carers Centre and STAND. The programme is open to all unpaid carers who care for someone living with dementia. All sessions are optional, and you are welcome to attend more than once as your needs as a carer change. The aim of the programme is educational, to support you to gain practical knowledge and skills, learning from skilled health and social care professionals, as well as connecting with other carers.
