'This text does make substantial leaps forward in developing theory about dementia care nursing, moving away from polarised approaches to a broader whole systems approach. [It] should succeed in its aim of contributing towards a new understanding of dementia care nursing. Dementia Care Nursing should be essential reading for all nursing involved in care of people with dementia, and an essential item on reading lists for nursing education.' - Margot Lindsay, London Centre for Dementia Care Description This book looks at the role nurses play when working with people who have dementia and their relatives. Dementia Care Nursing is a fascinating insight into the field, which outlines approaches that may be used by nurses within practice and provides advice on how dementia care may be developed and enhanced.
