title: Person-centred dementia care in acute settings.
abstract: A dementia activities coordinator role was created in an acute hospital environment with the aim of improving the experience of patients admitted to an elderly care ward who have dementia or cognitive impairment. Patient and carer feedback has confirmed the benefits of the role for patients and the increased confidence of carers in the support offered during hospital admission.
