The website is co-funded and supported by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) and Skills for Health. Discussion will be led in pilot groups; the Dementia Skills Network, Apprenticeships Network and Roles redesign, with more fields to be added as the platform grows.

It will be available from 14 October here.
