The Oxford Specialist Handbooks series provides readers with clear,
concise information on all that is needed to successfully train in
the medical sub-specialties. Each book gives an overview of clearly
defined procedures, skills, guidelines, and technologies and
provides practical tips and case studies to supplement hands-on
experience. Where appropriate, each book complements the revised
curriculum as developed by the Specialist Advisory Committees.
Dementia is a growing issue, exacerbated by improvements in health
care which have led to an ageing population; currently three
quarters of a million people suffer from dementia in the UK, and
this is expected to rise to 1.8 million by 2050. This book
concentrates on advanced disease and addresses issues such as pain
management, decision-making, spiritual needs, communication, the
Mental Health Capacity Act, dementia in the younger patient, and
the carer's perspective.
Written by specialists, this book will be invaluable for doctors
and nurses involved in palliative medicine, geriatrics, and old-age
psychiatry, and the generalist who treats the patient with
dementia.
