John’s Campaign The Trust is committed to John’s Campaign for carers of people with dementia.
Whilst you are providing carer support at the Trust We will ask you what support you as a carer may need and will strive to support you or help you find relevant support. This may include: w Ensuring the patient’s discharge planning takes your needs and abilities into account. w Opportunity for training and education to help you prepare for discharge and become confident in new or complex care tasks. w Review the possibility of staying overnight if requested.
For the right of people with dementia to be supported by their carers in hospital and the possibility of carers staying overnight if this is what the carer would like to do, noting that this is not a duty but a choice.
We are able to offer: w Regular hot drinks on the ward. w Flexible visiting hours. w Car parking concessions may be available (please speak to the Ward Manager / Nurse in Charge).
