Australian Ageing Agenda: A group of researchers from Griffith University are embarking on a project to refine, implement and evaluate a new model of care for people with dementia.
Led by Professor Wendy Moyle from the Research Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation, the team is determined to make a positive impact on the quality of life for people with dementia. The new model of dementia care uses education, mentoring, care teams, care planning and reflective journals to highlight the needs and values of people with dementia.
The team will work with Professor Julian Hughes, an old-age psychiatrist from the University of Newcastle (UK). "The success of this project so far can be attributed to the drive, dedication and professionalism of the researchers and I look forward to continuing my involvement in such a significant area of research," Professor Hughes said.
