Policy Paper: Making a difference in dementia, nursing vision and strategy

The Department of Health have published a revised edition of ‘Making a difference in dementia, nursing vision and strategy’ which sets out the role and responsibilities for nurses providing care and support for people with dementia.

This strategy sets out how nurses can provide high quality compassionate care and support for people with dementia, so they can live well with dementia within all care settings, including a person’s own home.

It aims to support all nurses to be responsive to the needs of people with dementia, continue to develop their skills and expertise, and achieve the best outcomes for people with dementia, their carers and families.
