| Annotation | As more people die with dementia, end of life care discussions are growing in importance. The author and colleagues report on their study and explain how co-designing new resources could help to strengthen support at the end of life. They use findings from the Supporting Excellence in End of life care in Dementia programme (SEED study), which has developed a nurse-led intervention which has been tested in primary care settings. The authors have used this model to dementia nurse specialists work more effectively with patients and their families and improve the knowledge and skills of patients' health care teams. They outline how they developed a new resource by mapping existing resources, which led them to use a co-design approach to develop a prototype Care Plan Guide (CPG). This was tested in co-design workshops with some of the support workers and nurses who would be using the resource. (RH). |
