Research abstract in English
To assemble a community cohort of people with dementia and their families, within which intervention studies can be nested. The objectives are to develop and test interventions that improve patient, carer and service outcomes at three major stages of dementia: 1) recognition and first response; 2) management of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), and of incontinence; and 3) end of life care. Within the SCWRU the programme is evaluating the impact of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and will develop educational interventions to support the use of the Act.
