Dementia: decisions for dignity
Our visits to people with dementia in general hospitals
One of the ways in which the Commission monitors individual care and treatment is through our visits programme. We visit people in a range of settings throughout Scotland; at home, in hospital or in any other setting where care and treatment is being delivered. As part of this programme we carry out three national themed visits each year. The aim of national themed visits is to enable us to assess and compare care and treatment for particular groups of people across Scotland. Our aim is to help services learn from good practice and to respond to any issues that are identified.
This report reflects our findings from a special programme of visits that took place across Scotland between September and December 2010 to people with dementia in acute wards in general hospitals.
