We’re committed to improving the experience of all people living with dementia who access our hospitals. We do this by recognising and acknowledging the universal rights of those affected, by making dementia care safe, compassionate and evidence based. We value the greater involvement of people, families, and carers, in the shaping of the care that we provide for their loved ones.
