We ran an online survey from 23 May 2016 to 8 July 2016 asking residents of South Gloucestershire their views on proposals to provide Dementia Advisors in 3 GP Clusters within South Gloucestershire.
In a parallel exercise, South Gloucestershire Council and South Gloucestershire CCG ran a consultation on three strategies which have been grouped together under the banner of “Supporting People to Live Well”, and include a Dementia Prevention Strategy.
This exercise ran from 23rd May 2016 – 22nd August 2016. A wide programme of engagement activities including talking to many groups and organisations across the area took place. Representatives attended various meetings, groups and activities throughout the consultation period to promote the consultation. Representatives attended almost 70 meetings and activities to share the consultation documents.
Two consultation events were also held to promote the strategy and give members of the public the opportunity to discuss the strategy and share their views. These events were attended by approximately 25 people.
Relevant feedback from that consultation has been taken into account alongside the specific engagement for this Dementia Advisor Service.
