An estimated 90,000 people are living with dementia in Scotland, with that number expected to increase to 164,000 by 2036.
Our latest podcast looks at the first guideline to be published in nearly 20 years that provides recommendations on the assessment, treatment and support of adults living with dementia. It calls for greater awareness of pre-death grief for people with dementia, their carers and their loved ones, as they fear the loss of the person they know.
We speak to professionals including Dr Adam Daly, Chair of Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s Guideline Development Group and a Consultant in old age psychiatry and Jacqueline Thompson, a nurse consultant and the lead on pre-grief death for the guideline. We also speak with Marion Ritchie, a carer who experienced pre-death grief while caring for her husband.
