| Annotation | The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has responsibility for providing the electronic Library for Social Care (eLSC), and has published two best practice guides, one of which is on assessing the mental health needs of older people. The guide is aimed primarily at front-line assessment staff, who are often the first professionals to contact people with dementia and their family or friends. This short article on an aspect of innovative practice in dementia care outlines the advantages of publishing the guide (and associated information sources) in electronic format. The guide can be accessed at: http//:www.elsc.org.uk/knowledge_floor/bpg2.htm (RH). |
