We promote brain health through two key programmes:

​

Brain Health Engagement: 

We promote awareness of the principles of brain health across all walks of life. We work with partners in education, nutrition and fitness, as well as employers and sports associations to promote positive brain health. 

 

Our programmes include educational outreach from primary school years onwards, health promotion campaigns and management of known risk factors. 

 

We place specific emphasis on equity of access, addressing the needs of people living

in more challenging socioeconomic circumstances. 

 

Brain Health Services: 

We are developing Scotland’s first brain health clinics, at which patients will access the information and interventions they need to protect their brain.

 

We also provide opportunities to join research programmes, so everyone can join the effort to better

understand brain health and disease.

 

Through all our activities, we expect that in future fewer people will develop Alzheimer’s disease in Scotland, but for those who do, we will work to ensure they access the best assessments,

treatments and care anywhere in the world. 

 

Brain Health Scotland has been commissioned to produce national policy documents that will include the first Brain Health Strategy for Scotland as well as a Scottish Brain Health and Dementia Research Strategy.
