I'm writing a piece for our newsletter Share on 'accelerated discharge' - what's being done to get people with dementia out of hospital and back into their own homes as quickly as possible.
I'm after people's experiences. I'd like to use examples of people with dementia who've had to go to hospital to be treated for something, have been well cared for there, and returned home without a deterioration in their condition. I'd like to know what enabled this to happen.
Also, I'd like to use an eg of someone who wasn't so fortunate and who ended up not returning home but going into long term care, as many people do.
Please get in touch if you're happy to talk to me. Ideally, I'd like to name people in the article, but if anyone wishes to remain anonymous then I will consider using their story without using names.
I hope to hear from you either by email or phone - 0207 306 0606
Best wishes,
Rachael Doeg
