experiences and practice encounters in health and social care. This
has resulted in an accessible text suitable for people who have
attended various 'risk training' events and those who have not.
*International Journal of Integrated Care*
The appearance of this little text, packed with insights, could not
e more timely. Forming the latest in the helpful series of Bradford
Dementia Group Good Practice Guides, the book's authors tackle core
issues for the assessment and management of risk for people who
live with dementia... It is to be hoped that the authors in future
will give more consideration to issues that are only touched on
briefly in the book, due no doubt to lack of space. These include
the intriguing topic of resilience among older people and the
difficult challenge of recasting societal values associated with
age and ageing. One knotty problem is how the positive connotations
of the notion of living well with dementia, which these researchers
rightly favour, can be effectively translated into the wider
structures of the UK's diverse polity.
*Dementia*
A very practical book which offers a way of viewing risk that is
not black and white.
*Dementia Newsletter*
this book provides a useful, easy-to-follow guide for practitioners
who are involved with delivering services to people with dementia,
wanting to better understand and navigate the complexities of risk
assessment and management.
*Journal of Ageing & Society*
This practical book outlines some of the key issues in risk
perception, assessment and management in dementia care. It includes
an overview of the current legislative framework and discusses
ethical dilemmas. The author proposes frameworks for informed and
balanced decision-making, and emphasises the importance of
including the person with dementia, their family and care
providers.
*Journal of Dementia Care*
Another useful and progressive good practice guide from the
Bradford Dementia Group which will help you to understand risk and
thereby to support residents to take - and live well with -
risks.
*Caring Times*
This book draws greatly on research undertaken by the various
authors identifying risk from the perspective of people with
dementia and their carers alongside their general practitioners...
This book promotes quality of life for people with dementia and
their families to live well; looking at evidence based practice and
"situated decision making" and offers models for identifying risks
and impacts from a quality of life perspective... Designed for
practitioners, this book sits well alongside other books that
promote the person centred approach and views of quality of life
for people living with dementia.
