title: Promoting better care  for patients with dementia.
abstract: Admission to hospital or a visit to a local clinic can be a frightening experience for a patient with dementia who faces interactions with strangers in unfamiliar surroundings. A nursing team on an acute medical ward for individuals with respiratory conditions, or in a busy general practice, simply has little time to assess what the patient wants to communicate and provide reassurance.
