What You Really Want to Know About Life with Dementia
Unit research features in new book
Research conducted by the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Health and Social Care Workforce at King's is used in this new book to help people affected by dementia. In a comment section, Jill Manthorpe draws on Unit research on the timing of a move to a care home and studies of Personal Assistants to outline what people may find helpful from others' experiences. This book explores responses to questions that are frequently asked of Dementia UK's Helpline and is edited by dementia care experts: Professor Karen Harrison Dening, Dr Hilda Hayo and Christine Reddall. It is published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
