Plymouth Dementia Joint Strategic Commissioning Group

The Plymouth Dementia Joint Strategic Commissioning Group (PDJSCG) will ensure that the Plymouth Joint Dementia Strategy will be delivered in accordance with national and local policy frameworks including:

• Living Well with Dementia (National Strategy)
• Transforming Community Services
• New Horizons
• South West Strategic Health Authority Dementia Review

The Group will ensure that services commissioned in Plymouth meet the needs of the local population, anticipate future demand and are flexible and accessible to all.

The Group will work towards the achievement of the five strategic Dementia priorities identified in the Plymouth Joint Dementia Strategy:

• Increasing and improving awareness
• Early diagnosis and intervention
• Support for service users and carers
• Improved quality of care
• Improved dementia pathway

The Group will review and update the Plymouth Joint Dementia Strategy as necessary so that it reflects the objectives of NHS Plymouth and Plymouth City Council.

The Group will ensure that the health and social care community responds to national dementia guidance in a coherent and integrated manner by reviewing new guidance whenever it is published and incorporating changes into Plymouth's Joint Dementia Strategy.
