About Dementia and Age Scotland are exploring the issues related to the uptake and use of Power of Attorney in Scotland. They aim to gain a better understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by individuals when setting it up, as well as the attitudes towards it. Their research focuses on how the system can be improved for people living with dementia and their unpaid carers.
This survey is exclusively for those living with dementia or for family, friends, or carers of someone with dementia. The objective of the survey is to gather valuable data and insights that will contribute to improving the system.
Ultimately, their goal is to increase the availability and use of Power of Attorney so that individuals who may lose the capacity to make necessary decisions have the appropriate support in place, ensuring that their wishes and rights are upheld.
