Jersey Hospital Seeks Dementia Care Input
6 Dec
Summary
- A Hospital Dementia Charter is being developed for Jersey General Hospital.
- Dementia Jersey seeks input from carers of dementia patients.
- Feedback will help improve dementia patient care in hospital settings.
Dementia Jersey is embarking on the creation of a Hospital Dementia Charter, a vital initiative aimed at defining the expected standard of care for individuals with dementia at Jersey General Hospital. This charter will serve as a benchmark, outlining what patients and their care partners can anticipate during their hospital visits, whether for out-patient appointments, emergency department attendance, or in-patient stays.
The charity is extending an open invitation to individuals who have cared for a friend or family member with dementia at the hospital within the past two years. The collected experiences and perspectives are invaluable, providing essential insights that will guide the development of a comprehensive and supportive charter.
By actively engaging with the community, Dementia Jersey aims to foster continuous improvement in hospital care for dementia patients. The feedback received will directly contribute to shaping a charter that truly reflects and addresses the needs of those living with dementia and their dedicated caregivers, ensuring a more supportive and understanding hospital experience.
