Dementia In Health And Social Care

At hand over each shift we get the chance to relay back any relevant findings or concerns to the charge nurse and manager. As a volunteer I spent a great deal of time with the service user throughout the day, I am in a good position to pick up changes in conditions and record and report this when it occurs.

Any possible dementia episodes I will report to he nurse or manager, they in turn will ask the service user to visit their GP to arrange a series tests to be performed to diagnose any issues that arise.
