Practical dementia resources is an exciting new toolkit for patients/ public. This is a national resource.

Key Information Summary (KIS) guidance is a new Scottish Government resource. 

‘In Scotland, the Key Information Summary (KIS) allows clinical information from the GP electronic record (currently Vision or EMIS) to be shared across different parts of NHS Scotland.’
