title: Can nurse prescribing improve medication concordance in people with dementia?
abstract: Research has suggested nurse prescribing can improve medication concordance in older people with mental health problems. An independent nurse prescriber at a memory clinic in Berkshire used a questionnaire to determine dementia patients' attitudes to and awareness of nurse prescribing. This article describes how the survey responses were used to improve medication adherence.
