What is Stand by Me?
This UK-wide research in collaboration with Alzheimer Scotland, University of Edinburgh and Key Community Lifestyles aimed to find out more about the experiences of couples with a learning disability when one partner had dementia. The impetus for the study came from Andrew, a married man with a learning disability and dementia. For further information and to download stories of the couples who took part please visit the website of Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities. Stand by Me was the winner in the Diversity through Education category at the Herald & GenAnalytic Awards, 2023.
