Dear Talking Point forum members,
My name's Guri & I'm currently a junior doctor. I have a particular interest in dementia having cared for my late grandmother who died with Alzheimer's.
As part of a national project to help improve communication between healthcare staff & patients & their relatives/carers in A&E, I have been asked to produce a leaflet which provides essential information for patients with dementia & their carers at point of hospital admission.
I have several ideas for the leaflet, but I thought it would be a good idea to hear from carers directly about experiences they've had, & information that they feel would be helpful to know. I would be very grateful for any feedback.
Many thanks,
Guri
