Frimley Park hospital NHS Trust is the key provider of emergency and acute services to the population of Surrey and is pleased to declare its commitment to delivering better outcomes for patients with dementia and meet the objectives within the Dementia Strategy (2009).
A local multi-agency trust Dementia Strategy Steering Group is responsible for delivering the objective related to acute care – to improve the quality of hospital care for people with dementia. Key areas for development have been identified and form part of an action plan detailing how the experiences of patients with dementia and their carers will be improved in hospital. Initiatives that we have been successfully implemented are: trust intranet site for dementia care, dementia care champions across the trust, ‘This is Me’, Butterfly scheme and better signage.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
The main challenges we face in delivering these outcomes are influenced by internal and external health care priorities and targets within an acute hospital setting, such as infection control, patient activity and volume.
