Our autumn issue focuses on the launch of the ‘what works’ resource pack, our workforce development portal and work to improve early diagnosis of dementia in primary care.

We profile findings from the first national audit of memory services and examine the Government’s announcement of £10 million extra funding for memory services to help identify people with dementia earlier and treat them more effectively.

We also provide information about work to improve domiciliary care for people with dementia, an update on the peer review currently underway in each of the hospital sites in the South West and details about the Royal College of Nursing project to improve the care of people with dementia in general hospitals.
