The Review Panel, established in 2015, aims to:-
(a)
better understand the needs and support
available to carers (and by extension those they care for) of
people with dementia, and to explore what more could be done, or
what could be done differently to ensure access was available
across the borough and was taken up. To better understand the role
carers could play in supporting the person with dementia to live
well with dementia, what challenges they might experience and what
could help them in the role they play.
(b)
understand the benefits of developing ‘Dementia Friendly
Communities’ and the work currently being carried out by the
Council, Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group and other partners
to this end, and how the links this may have to the wider
preventative agenda, including work within the Stockport Together
programme.
(c) consider the impact of the existing Dementia Strategy and to have input into the refreshing of this document, particularly in relation to the chapter on carers.
