Viewpoint makes ‘Virtual Dementia Tour’ Scottish debut

The bus will be parked in the car park adjacent to the main entrance of the Viewpoint building, at the rear of Cameron Toll Shopping Centre on Wednesday 29 June 2016. This will mark its first visit to Scotland and all Viewpoint staff will be given the opportunity to take a tour of the bus on the preceding two days when it will be moved to South Oswald Road.

The shopping centre event is aimed at the general public and will give people the opportunity to participate in a learning exercise to experience firsthand the physical and mental challenges those with dementia experience. This is to promote more understanding and increase the quality of care those dealing with dementia receive from family members and professional care givers.

In collaboration with Alzheimer Scotland and Age Scotland a stall within the shopping centre will provide information on health and wellbeing as well as job opportunities in the care industry.

If you are at Cameron Toll on Wednesday please be sure to visit the stand and, if spaces are available, take the tour.
