It is thought that up to a quarter of hospital beds are filled with people living with dementia at any one time. The National Audit of Dementia assesses the quality of care provided to this vulnerable patient group when they are in hospital. As part of the audit, we need to understand what support and training the staff caring for these people receive to help them provide the best care possible.
