Counting the cost

Alzheimer's Society's Counting the Cost report reveals unacceptable variations in the quality of care for people with dementia in hospital

As part of our Putting Care Right campaign, this report aims to improve the quality of care for people with dementia in Britain's hospitals. It calls for nurses to be empowered with specialist training and for the average amount of time people with dementia stay in hospital to be reduced by a week. This could save the NHS over £80 million per year.

We need your help to make these changes possible. Take action today now by sending an email to the Chief Executive of your Primary Care Trust (PCT) or your Local Health Board in Wales.
