| Annotation | The author's contribution to the Nursing Times' Reflection series outlines her approach to work as a registered mental nurse (RMN) on an acute assessment ward for older people at Stepping Hill Hospital, Pennine Care NHS Trust. She has been prompted by her observation that dementia affects each person differently, and that nurses should "promote the individual's capabilities, while maintaining the respect, privacy and dignity that the patient deserves".
