| Annotation | A workshop based on 'The last taboo: a guide to dementia, sexuality and sexual behaviour in care homes' (ILC-UK, 2011) was held at the 4th Scottish Caring and Dementia Congress in March 2012. The authors explore some of the issues that care home staff face with regard to supporting people with dementia to enjoy their sexuality. Participants at the workshop commented on the difficulties in using guidance and legislation relating to incapacity, and called for guidance more suited to care homes. (RH). |
