Nurses Call For Improvements To Dementia Care, UK

Commenting on the Public Accounts Committee report Improving dementia services in England - an interim report, Janet Davies, Executive Director of Nursing and Service Delivery at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said:


"It is deeply concerning that dementia care is still not being dealt with as a priority. Training and education for healthcare staff working in all settings is absolutely vital if care for dementia patients is to improve. Greater investment is also needed for specialist dementia nurses, who provide invaluable support for dementia patients, their carers and families. Ahead of the General Election, we urge all political parties to ensure that every patient with dementia has guaranteed access to specialist nursing care."
