Details

This new resource will support the Prime Minister’s Dementia Challenge by:

• raising the profile of the wider nursing contribution to dementia care
• describing what is expected of all nurses to meet the level and quality of care expected in all care settings

The vision demonstrates the 6Cs for dementia care by including nursing values and behaviours. It builds on ‘Compassion in Practice’, the national vision for nurses, midwives and care staff.
