Dignity in dementia; improving care in general hospital settings, a Royal College of Nursing led project, has launched tools to improve the care of people with dementia in general hospitals.
People with dementia in Bristol will have a ‘This is me’ booklet telling hospital staff about them so that care can be tailored to their needs.
The Royal College of Nursing and the Royal College of General Practitioners have published a new charter for end of life care that sets out best practice standards that all patients deserve from their primary health care team.
The Royal College of Nursing is leading a project, supported by the Department of Health, on the care of people with dementia in general hospital settings. Please help by completing the online survey or by promoting it through your local networks.
‘This is me’ is a new leaflet by Alzheimer’s Society to help hospital staff better understand the needs of people with dementia.
