| Annotation | Research into the provision for older people with dementia from ethnic minority groups has exposed limited identification and understanding of the disease among health and social care professionals. This article outlines the findings by Patel, Mirzal and Lindblad in `Dementia and minority ethnic older people' (Russell House Publishing, 1998), which reports on three separate but related studies in Denmark, France and the UK. The development of a person-centred approach to care provision is highlighted, requiring a focus on the individual and his or her needs, and overcoming stereotypes and preconceived ideas. Organisations concerned with both dementia and minority ethnic groups should consider the advantages of staff with competences both in ethnicity and dementia. (RH). |
