This one day conference looks at developing and implementing the quality standards for dementia; which were presented to Health Secretary Andrew Lansley on 30^th June 2010.

The quality measures accompanying the quality standard are intended to improve the structure, process and outcomes of health and social care….If such quality indicators do not currently exist it is intended that the quality measures should form the basis for audit criteria developed and used locally to improve the quality of healthcare. It is also noted that at present there are limited health outcome measures that can be used as quality measures: the focus of the quality measures is on improving health outcomes through improving processes of care that are considered to be linked to health outcomes.*   

Through a series of focus sessions delegates will have the opportunity to look in depth at the quality standards for dementia with a focus on the patient perspective, developing a personalised care plan / personal health plan, changing practice to reduce admissions, advanced care planning and supporting people with dementia to make future decisions.
