University of Stirling DSDC's (Dementia Services Development Centre) International Conference

This year's conference forms part of the University of Stirling's 40th anniversary celebrations and explores the theme "Innovation & Excellence: Making Change Happen".  

It is aimed at all those who support people with dementia, whether their background is in medicine, social care, planning or service provision. The content will be of interest to those from the public, private or voluntary sector, as well as community representatives such as faith leaders. People with dementia and their carers are also welcome.  

The conference will bring together expertise and opinion from many parts of the world including the USA, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, France, Malta, Republic of Ireland and the UK.  

The programme will explore a broad range of issues, and features over 70 speakers and 20 symposia. These have been arranged to allow delegates maximum flexibility in planning a programme to suit their needs and interests.   In addition to the main conference, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in a number of events:
