Abstract

Persons with dementia and family carers identify several challenges when
hospitalized including poor communication with professionals and loss of
independence. Acute healthcare professionals cite understaffing and lack of
dementia education as barriers to optimal care. To address these issues, the
purpose of this project is to co-produce an educational program based on
the Scottish National Dementia Champions Programme.
