Dementia: a nurse’s guide
Manage episode 362338210 series 2572330
What are the signs and symptoms of dementia and how can nursing staff best support people with the condition and their loved ones?
By 2025, over one million people in the UK will likely have a diagnosis of dementia, making it even more likely that nurses in all settings will encounter someone with the condition and or their family.
This episode of the Nursing Standard podcast explores the different types of dementia (there are over 200 subtypes of the condition) and the varying symptoms.
Our guests are Helen Green, an admiral nurse with Dementia UK, which is a specialist dementia nursing charity supporting all the family, and Fred, whose wife Lynne has vascular dementia.
They talk about gaining a diagnosis, signposting for support and helping someone with dementia to be stimulated via hobbies and activities.
