Event details
One in 11 people over the age of 65 has dementia. They can present with a range of additional unmet needs, but nurses who are not specialised in dementia care can feel ill-equipped to effectively support them.
Experts will give nurses working in all specialties the information they need to identify different types of dementia and advice on how to adapt their nursing practice. Nurse specialists will also offer practical strategies to enable you to give people and their carers support and holistic care.
The interactive panel discussion will consider the challenges the nursing team faces in supporting people with dementia and how they can ensure the best care is given.
