AnnotationOne bed in every four in an acute general hospital is thought to be occupied by someone with dementia. Starting in late 2013, the Norwich and Norfolk Hospital has been employing dementia support workers, who are specially trained, non-clinical staff, to provide emotional support and advocacy to people with dementia and their carers. This article gives a brief assessment and a case study of the service. (RH).
