| Annotation | The Alzheimer's Society has published a report that discusses the prevalence of dementia and gives authoritative estimates of the number of people who will have the condition up to 2051. The rising numbers are likely to have major implications for health and social care, and the report makes seven key recommendations for future dementia care. The report, Dementia UK, is a priced publication (£25) but is also available as a download from the website of Alzheimer's Society, who commissioned researchers from the London School of Economics and the Institute of Psychiatry (2007). The author concludes that the government will need to consider the implications for the nursing workforce and make plans to develop a "highly-skilled workforce to care for this client group in the future."
