Abstract
Inadequate care has been identified for those with dementia at all stages, from pre-diagnosis to end-of-life care. Nationally, two levels of initiatives are evolving: basic awareness skilling of frontline care staff and changing services at the strategic level. Senior clinical staff have the potential to fill the gap between the two levels and drive speedier service change. This article describes a multidisciplinary programme developed by Central London Community Healthcare Trust to provide dementia care champions, at the advanced tier 3 level, to drive a range of service improvements across north-west London.
