The vision: taking dementia as an example: what do people with dementia want from their care? Older people with dementia want to be supported to remain at home: • Avoiding care home admissions • Avoiding hospital admissions • Avoiding admission to A&E in crisis “Because we were able to have home carers… my husband was able to spend the last six years of his life in our own home, where he was very happy, instead of going into residential care, which would have made us all very sad” (Carer, National Dementia Strategy, 2009)
The vision: Reducing health and social care institutional based care when it isn’t needed
The vision for Quality : key areas to measure: Bruce Keogh
The London delegated leadership model to build leadership and networks to deliver the Outcomes Framework?
