Improving Patient Hygiene for People with Dementia | Dr Tamara Backhouse

Former care worker and now research fellow, Dr Tamara Backhouse, shares her research which focuses on improving personal care interactions for people with dementia and their caregivers. In particular, there is an emphasis on managing refusals of care in advanced dementia, especialy around patient washing.
Her presentation explores the pro-CARE study and its outcomes in more detail, which helps to inform key factors and suitable techniques for improving patient hygiene for people with dementia.
