Palliative/End of life care
End of life and/or palliative care have only recently been highlighted in the context of dementia. In NI only one report was identified and this highlights the inadequacy of the current health and social care system. In ROI reports are generally related to relatively small scale projects but these range from efforts to build consensus on palliative dementia care, to developing guidelines for end of live care in long stay residential settings, supporting care home staff to engage in discussions on end of life with residents and developing a model of best practice palliative care interventions.
