Summary:

This volume summarizes the work of EDCON's working group on Standards in Dementia Care, which issued the following consensus statement: "Standards for the practice of dementia care should be established and monitored across Europe to ensure that the best available evidence-based quality of care is provided for people suffering from dementia and their carers." Chapters will compare and contrast the differences in clinical practice and the provision of services throughout Europe and will examine the various roles involved in multi-disciplinary care of patients with dementia.
