Introduction to the dementia series

Karen Harrison Dening Director of Admiral Nursing, Dementia UK, London, England

A NEW SERIES of articles in Nursing Standard, starting this week, aims to help nurses understand the multifaceted nature of dementia. This introduction outlines the scope of the series, which will discuss and explore the signs and symptoms of dementia, its diagnosis, the evidence base for various interventions, palliative and end of life care and how nurses can relate this knowledge to clinical practice.
