Dementia Nursing: A Guide to Practice is written primarily for nurses who have twenty-four hour responsibility for the care of people with dementia in the context of residential aged care. The book will also be valuable for doctors, allied health professionals, personal-care workers, volunteers, families, and carers of people with dementia in a variety of settings. It will empower them all with practical strategies for clinical management and will encourage reflective care in which they enter into the experience of the person with dementia. Dementia nursing depends on partnerships with a variety of people. The book therefore provides knowledge and encouragement for all members of a team of care who support and accompany the person with dementia.
