Clearly presented and easy to understand
‘This book is a must for anyone working in health or social care, who needs to understand people living with dementia and their families, and for people caring for their loved ones. It is well laid-out in easy to understand language, with highlighted sections allowing the reader to dip into whichever subject they need. It covers matters such as diagnosis, how to best care for and understand those with dementia, along with key legal and safeguarding advice and so much more. Highly recommended!' Amazon reviewer
I feel it is excellent, very accessible, approachable in style, promoting a positive person-centred approach while being extremely useful (for nurses, student nurses and allied health professionals) on a practical basis. * A senior lecturer, Birmingham City University *
