Description
Reviews
I am delighted to see this book actually based on what health and social care professionals want to know about dementia care. The chapters use complex or challenging case studies or related examples, with expert navigation and advice from an experienced Admiral Nurse to add context, guidance and understanding. As a result the Admiral Nurses and their colleagues have given a really useful practical text which I hope will get the wide readership it truly deserves. -- Professor Martin Orrell - Director, Institute of Mental Health, University of Nottingham
