AnnotationHow do care workers from abroad feel about Brexit, given that negotiations are getting under way following the triggering of Article 50 for the UK to leave the European Union (EU)? Statistics for 2015 indicate that there are some 240,000 staff in the UK's adult social care workforce not of British origin. The author has spoken to some of them and found that they often have a unique insight into the experience of dementia. She contends that the contribution of a migrant workforce to dementia care should be celebrated with more pride and less prejudice. (RH).
