The East Dunbartonshire Advisory Clinic Model: Better outcomes for people affected by dementia

Costs and Savings

As a result of its innovative service design, the Dementia Clinics only costs a modest £67,000 per annum, funded through the Change Fund held by Ceartas advocacy to ensure that the service user view remains central to the process. There have been a significant reduction in hospital delay with only one person delayed in the year 2012/2013 as a result of Adults with Incapacity issues. There is regular attendance at clinics with over 200 people attending the range of clinics in the different settings, including hospital venues. A further 1,925 people are working with clinic staff in other settings. Personal plans have been developed in line with the Alzheimer Scotland Five Pillars Model of dementia support and have been implemented April 2013. We have also increased the numbers of people included on our GP Quality Outcome framework registers (QoF) and the numbers of people who are managing their own care through self directed support.  Specialist roles including Dementia Champions and Ambassadors have been created throughout East Dunbartonshire.
