New dementia post diagnostic online resource
NHS Lanarkshire’s mental health and learning disability service has developed a new dementia post diagnostic online resource for carers, patients and health practitioners.

The online tool, developed in partnership with a number of agencies including Alzheimer Scotland, also highlights the local supports and resources available in Lanarkshire.

The online resource can be accessed via clinical knowledge publisher (CKP) or by visiting:
