The need for specialist nurses in dementia care.
Abstract Rahman S, Harrison Dening K (2016) The need for specialist nurses in Dementia awareness is on the increase but, in many cases, tangible improvements in care are yet to be seen. As specialist nurse roles have improved patient care and outcomes in other specialties--most notably cancer care--this article looks at their impact and asks whether there is a need for such roles in dementia care, to what extent patient and carer experiences might be improved, and how health and social care might come together with policy makers and third-sector organisations to secure positive change.
