Feedback from carers/families and hospital leads for dementia. 

The National Audit of Dementia (NAD) collected feedback between June and July 2020 to examine how the pandemic had affected hospital care for people with dementia. 

We would like to thank everyone who helped develop these surveys and everyone who completed them.

  • Emerging areas of positive practice highlighted in the report align with the work to embed an integrated approach to care as set out in the transformation framework (The ‘Well Pathway for Dementia’), updated for the COVID era and the use of technology, aids and adaptations for people living with dementia in The Dementia Care Pathway: Full implementation guidance (2018).
  • To support the provision of person-centred care in inpatient settings for older people, including those with dementia, local NHS Trusts provide hospital passport templates that can be completed before attending hospital as an inpatient or outpatient. The hospital passport outlines, from the patient's perspective, what they would like staff to know about them and their care to help personalise their admission. In addition, the National Academy for Social Prescribing have put together a Personal Wellbeing Plan Template  which can be used to summarise what is most important to someone and shared, with consent, to support provision of personalised care, with services involved in their care.

 

Round 4 included a spotlight audit on 'Hospital initiated prescription of psychotropic medication for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia', this module forms part of the Quality Account in 2019.

After analysing the data collected for Round 3, it became apparent that audit questions about delirium might be inconsistently interpreted, both within and between hospital sites. Hospitals were asked to submit data for a Spotlight audit focusing on the identification and assessment of delirium in order to look at variance in interpretation and to gain more accurate knowledge of the extent to which assessments are not performed.

Data collection ran from April to August 2010, with exception of the observation module which ran from January - April  2011.
