CQC Comments in Relation to Lister Admiral Nurse (CQC 2018).

“This has proved vital in ensuring families feel supported and reducing carer breakdown. A dementia care pathway and a delirium pathway were launched by (the Admiral Nurse) within the Trust in 2018. They are a guide to help staff deliver good dementia care and help identify and raise awareness of delirium. The dementia care pathway is easy to read and covers identifying confusion; involving families; raising awareness; documentation and assessment; care on wards considering referrals and discharge from hospital ….it is in line with the trusts dementia policy ……

(The Admiral Nurse) provides tier two training on a monthly basis for all staff who have regular contact with someone living with dementia. This helps raise their knowledge and skills for someone caring with dementia, along with the ability to educate and support families. All the changes introduced by (the Admiral Nurse) have helped improve the experience of a hospital admission for people with dementia and their families”
