Myra Lamont MBE

I was a carer for my late husband who had early onset Semantic dementia. I cared for him throughout his illness, giving me user experience of health and social care services. I retired from the nursing profession to care for him. 
During that time and to date I have been a campaigner, activist and ambassador for improvement in dementia services and conditions for unpaid carers. 
Through dementia networks and my lived experience of dementia I have gained vast experience of the dementia landscape,strategy and policy. I was a founder member of the National Dementia Carers Network Alzheimer Scotland and Tide Scotland, Lay Advisor for the duration of the Life Changes Trust. 
I also served on National Dementia Strategy Boards and Committees and currently an active member of Dementia, Age Scotland. 
I am a member of PPI/Partner’s in Research, NHS Neuro progressive Network. Through that network I have been co-author of a book recently published. 
“Challenging Assumptions Around Dementia, User-led research and Untold stories.
