Free webinar on Monday 10th March 2025 11.30 to 13.00 that will provide best practice and support to health and social care systems to help improve an individual’s journey to, during and following discharge from an acute hospital.

The Better Care Fund Support Programme will be hosting a learning lunch on the High Impact Change Model on Dementia and Delirium. This new resource offers a practical approach to support health and care systems to deliver best practice for an individual’s journey to, during and following discharge from an acute hospital.

Dementia United and the local Discharge Integration Frontrunner programme both featured as spotlight case studies in this publication and will be presenting at the webinar.

At any one time one in four hospital beds are occupied by people living with dementia. People with dementia experience some of the highest levels of avoidable hospital admission, inconsistent approaches to assessment and care in hospital, long lengths of stay and delays to discharge. In addition, the hospital environment is particularly distressing for people with dementia and delirium. Where there isn’t sufficient information about their pre-admission status, their care partners can be excluded from the decision making process, and admission can lead to worsening symptoms, hospital acquired disability and loss of independence.

The webinar will provide best practice and support to health and social care systems to help improve an individual’s journey to, during and following discharge from an acute hospital.

This webinar is suitable for: Adult social care commissioners; Health commissioners; ICB Members and Trust Board members; Health and social care discharge leads;

Heads of service; Discharge managers; Service managers; Ward managers and Occupational therapy practitioners.
