A new Triangle of Care for dementia guide has officially been launched in parliament which is set to transform the lives of people with dementia and their carers. Hazel Blears MP hosted the event with MPs, carers and health professionals. The Triangle of Care for dementia was developed by the RCN and Carers Trust, and funded through the RCN Foundation Grants Programme. The guide was co-designed with carers, people with dementia and practitioners. It sets out six key standards to improve the care of people living with dementia by achieving better collaboration between them, the carer and the health professional. Dr Peter Carter, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the RCN, said: “We are very pleased to see this excellent piece of work officially launched in Parliament. When people with dementia go into hospital, it is essential that their carers not only feel included and involved in their care, but play an integral role in it.” Read more about the Triangle of Care and download the guide rcn.org.uk/newsevents/news/article/uk/guide_to_improve_dementia_care_launches_in_parliament (Camilla)
