Three regional dissemination events were held in order to launch the scheme’s new evaluative system, created with Department of Health funding.

The hospital leads were absolutely delighted with the system, which they agree will make it much easier to embed and maintain their quality of dementia care delivery. They were especially stunned to discover that the system provides them with targeted, ready-made action plans – the very bit of any evaluation which normally creates a huge piece of work for them! Mednet, the IT company which has designed the tool to fit the scheme’s requirements, is now providing ongoing support as hospitals start to use the new system.
