Dr Ailsa Cook works at the RBS Centre for the Older Person€™s Agenda at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.
Ailsa Cook reviews recent health and social care policy in Scotland and England in light of the growing body of empirical research into the experiences and perspectives of people with dementia. She draws on this evidence to consider the particular challenges associated with delivering four key outcomes to people with dementia identified by policy makers as fundamental to well-being.
These are: independence, health, choice and social inclusion. In so doing the book contributes a much needed policy perspective to the field of dementia, as well as providing a fresh lens through which to consider the difference that proposed policies can make to a diverse range of service users.
