identify some of the posssible needs and preferences of people with dementia from different ethnic backgrounds
A number of policy documents suggest ways in
which local services need to develop so that they
are more responsive to the needs of BME people
in their locality. [ The dementia guidelines
produced by the National Institute for Health
and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Social
Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE),30 along
with the National Dementia Strategy9 emphasise
that health and social care staff should identify
the speci?c needs of people with dementia and
their carers arising from aspects of diversity,
such as gender, ethnicity, age (younger or older),
religion and preferences about
the delivery of
personal care. The revised implementation plan
for the National Dementia Strategy6 and the
Dementia quality standard,31 based on the priority
areas identi?ed in the NICE/SCIE guidelines,
emphasise the need to develop services that
support people with dementia at all stages, from
diagnosis to palliative care. The most recent
Carers’ Strategy guidance32 identi?es a need
for services to reach out to carers from BME
communities and to develop information and
advice services that are accessible to all carers. target=_blank rel='nofollow'>https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:wkYQsIW8z5QJ:' target=_blank rel='nofollow'>www.scie.org.uk/publications/briefings/files/briefing35.pdf+needs+and+preferences+of+people+with+dementia+from+different+ethnic+backgrounds&hl=hu&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESg3jzBTdGI1DwC4xjzsFengrrE26TQwg02wkI1X8gbiyRm49Z8t8p5BUnGgis50Hb3dHWKuKJpOjT31r_6m_aj1e1SQb6bWuBTnfgixbvkECy93AUhLIYm8aZOA6NbmOQRN4Ud8&sig=AHIEtbQ5Ey7_Pl9NlxY7qWZ1IfzM6HjTcg ]
