practice
November
2017
Today 1 in 6 people over 80 are affected by dementia – 60% of these
being subsequently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. As a condition that
progressively worsens over time, dementia has a significant emotional, social
and practical impact on not just the patient but also upon their family
members, friends and carers. NHS staff today need to be aware of the many
complex factors that are involved in the diagnosis and care of those affected.
This month MA Healthcare is raising awareness about the importance of meeting
the needs of people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s so they can receive
the best care the deserve with dignity and respect.
We have provided a list of relevant articles from MA Healthcare
journals dealing with this area, thereby providing your NHS staff with research,
information and tips that will support both their work and their patients.
