| Annotation | The authors report on the benefits of a nurse facilitating good end of life care for people with dementia in the community, including those in care homes. The modernisation initiative End of Life Care Programme, 2008-2011, aims to improve end of life care for people with dementia in Lambeth and Southwark, London. The Nurse Facilitator for End of Life Care role was created to encourage and support best practice, to combine end of life care with dementia care skills, and to enhance the skills of care staff. The facilitator worked closely alongside nurses and care staff in several ways, through observation, carrying out pain assessments and sharing tasks. (RH). |
