his thesis presents a case-based qualitative evaluation of a community-based memory service for people with dementia and
cares, informed by an advisory group including people with dementia and cares. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of
critical and narrative gerontology, interviews with service users, cares and community mental health team staff generated rich
accounts of experiences of using and delivering the memory service. Data from people with dementia and cares were analyzed
thematically and built on work by Willis et al. (2009) to generate quality indicators for dementia care. Analysis of data from
CMHT staff drew on a framework of collective leadership devised for use in the NHS by the Center for Creative Leadership
and The King's Fund (2014a). Findings reveal rich insights into: i) the everyday challenges faced by people with dementia and
cares, ii) the positive contributions they can bring to the evaluation and development of services for people with dementia and
cares and iii) the important role of collective leadership in the provision of high-quality services for people with dementia. The
thesis extends the current knowledge base relating to people with dementia and cares by developing understandings of how
they can contribute to the evaluation and development of memory services.
