Reports and announcements


Official statistics show dementia caused 13% of UK deaths in 2017 (Alzheimer’s Research UK, 18-Jul-18) Alzheimer’s Research UK is calling for urgent investment in dementia research, following new statistics that show the condition accounted for 13% of all UK deaths last year. The figures were released by the Office for National Statistics in July.

Charities Hospice UK, Together for Short Lives and Marie Curie are warning that a pay rise for NHS staff could have a damaging impact on charitable hospices in England and put vital services at risk unless they receive financial help to meet extra costs for hospice staff.

Legal permission will no longer be needed to withdraw treatment from patients in permanent vegetative state, the Supreme Court has ruled.

End of Life Doula UK (Living Well Dying Well)
New membership organisation, End of Life Doula UK, for Living Well Dying Well Doulas and Doulas in training. More information is available from aly@livingwelldyingwell.net.

These documents aim to explain what happens after a bereavement; including information about how to comment on the care a loved one received and what happens if a death will be looked into by a coroner.

The dementia care pathway: full implementation guidance (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, Jul-18)
A mandate to increasing the number of people receiving a diagnosis within 6 weeks of a GP referral, and to improving the quality of post-diagnostic treatment and support for people with dementia and their carers.
