What is hospital care like for someone with dementia? Alzheimer's Society

What is being done to fix these failings in dementia care? ‘Our vision is to create a society by 2020 where every person with dementia and their carers and families, from all backgrounds, walks of life and in all parts of the country…receive high quality, compassionate care from diagnosis through to end of life care’ – David Cameron, Prime Minister's Challenge on Dementia 2020 ©iStock.com/Johnny Greig

The role of carers

Arguments for the resolution It is clear from the evidence that not all hospitals have taken steps to be dementia friendly and vulnerable patients with dementia are suffering as a consequence. Now may be the time for the WI to urge more action to achieve the important goals set out in the Prime Minister’s Dementia Challenge to create dementia friendly spaces As this campaign does not call for a national right, but rather for hospitals to voluntarily reform, there is potential for individual WIs to be agents of change and work with their local wards across the country to achieve its aims. While this resolution focuses on hospitals, WI members are also able to draw on the NFWI’s existing work on the Prime Minister's Dementia Challenge in order to take broader action to ensure their communities are dementia friendly.

Arguments against the resolution John’s Campaign is already an established voice on this issue and it has had tremendous success. With over 200 hospitals committed to making changes to allow carers on their wards is there really more for the WI to add? Hospitals face a very challenging care climate at the moment, with the financial environment forcing hospitals to make difficult efficiencies. This resolution may be an unreasonable and unfeasible ‘ask’ at this time An unintended consequence of this resolution is that hospitals displace the burden of adequately caring for their dementia patients onto family members and carers. Not everyone has a carer, but every dementia patient deserves to be treated in a dementia friendly environment. Might this resolution lead to inequities in care further down the line and put more burden on already overworked carers?
