'... Usual high standard of speakers and good research information. Thank you.' (delegate after the event) At this event, delegates had the opportunity to learn from local experiences of providing Extracare Housing for people with dementia, and explored the evidence from two innovative projects: Neighbourhoods for Life and the Enriched Opportunities Programme. An interactive workshop session in the afternoon enabled participants to share their own experiences and ideas, and contribute to resources which will evolve from the day.Prof Jane Gilliard_Policy Overview Rachael Dutton Key Messages from Research Judith Hawkshaw Planning and Practice Eye View from Suffolk |
