| Annotation | The "timeline project" at Ashfield Community Hospital in Nottinghamshire has involved student nurses working with relatives of people with dementia in constructing a written timeline that highlights significant moments in the life of person with dementia. The process has three distinct phases: initial contact with the patient; drawing up the timeline with a relative; and a review of the person with dementia after the process has been completed. This article demonstrates how the process helps the student to make connections between the theory of dementia care and about treating people with dementia as individuals. (RH). |
