spending money on intensive educational interventions for GPs because it does not alter their clinical management of patients with dementia. He says this is probably because dementia is seen as a problem for specialists to deal with so generalists don’t go beyond doing what they currently do. GPs need to respond to the patients they see with dementia but this does not mean they are going to step up to another level of activity because it is not their primary role. However there is good trial evidence to show that interventions like supported walking reduces the carer burden and there is also a huge unmet need for accurate advice on continence management, a problem which is much bigger than many people realise, says Professor Iliffe. There can often be major problems with care home support for people with dementia. These can be put right through ‘appreciative inquiry’, an inexpensive process which focuses on increasing what an organisation does well and making positive changes.

This is because most of the evidence for what is effective in dementia care is either equivocal or does not exist and government policy has run ahead of the evidence base.

‘This is where the inverse care law comes in because people in most need get the least services,’ he says.

However Professor Iliffe will be able to enlighten delegates to Health+Care about which services or therapies are effective for people with dementia using evidence from studies including the EVIDEM (Evidence -based Interventions in Dementia) programme of research for which he was principal investigator.

The EVIDEM study, due to be published soon, is the biggest study there has been so far into interventions in dementia and has covered the trajectory of disease from diagnosis right through to death.

First of all, Professor Iliffe says it is not worthwhile

Integrated Care 2013 will bring all the successful pioneers and aspirants together from across the professional boundaries to showcase what is working – reducing hospital admissions and long stays, improving patient experience and outcomes – and how delegates can go about delivering it in their own organisations and locality.

Residential Care 2013 showcases how leading organisations are working with commissioners to transform the sector’s role, offering vital services that balance cost, quality, choice and value-for-money in a developing market.

Would labour turn health and care on Its head?

Why do PeoPle WIth the most needs get the least servIces?

Health and social care budgets should be merged to stop patients ‘falling through the cracks’, the Labour party has proposed.

Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham outlined the party’s new vision in a speech to the King’s Fund launching Labour’s health and care policy review and will be debating the subject at Health+Care at Excel, London in June.

He said the fragmented system was no longer fit-for-purpose and pledged to consolidate health, social care and mental health services in a ‘whole-person, one nation’ approach to health and care. Under Labour’s plans, acute hospitals would be the lead providers of integrated care. The aim would be to reverse the incentive to provide care in hospitals and care homes by giving integrated providers budgets that could be used flexibly to provide care in more appropriate settings.

Mr Burnham said hospitals would work closely with GPs, community health and care providers,

and others to deliver more care closer to home. He drew on the experience of integrated care in Torbay to illustrate the benefits of moving in this direction

‘The exclusion of the social side of care from the NHS settlement explains why it has never been able to break out of a ‘treatment service’ mentality and truly embrace prevention. It is a medical model; patient-centred, not person-centred,’ he said. In government, Labour would legislate for a ‘one budget, one service’ approach.

‘In the same way that Andrew Lansley should have refocused PCTs and put doctors in charge, I will simply re-focus the organisations I inherit to deliver this vision of whole-person care. Health and Well-Being Boards could come to the fore, with CCGs supporting them with technical advice. While we retain the organisations, we will repeal the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the rules of the market.’

Chris Ham, chief executive of The King’s Fund, said: ‘Andy Burnham’s prescription for change

is ambitious and his vision of delivering integrated care, co-ordinated around the needs of the individual, will be widely welcomed. But it leaves a number of unanswered questions, not least how plans as radical as these could be implemented while keeping his promise not to embark on further structural change.’

It involves getting nurses, doctors and care home staff together in a group to talk about what goes on in the care home, what is going right and also what are the areas of concern that can be improved. Running these groups helps those involved understand each other’s perspectives and can change practice. This reduces hospital admission rates and costs.

Commissioners may consider screening for dementia in general practice. However Professor Iliffe believes this is not a good use

of money and it also unethical to screen for a condition about which you can do nothing clinically.

Then there is a question of whether to spend money on expensive memory clinics. But these services tend to see significant numbers of older people who are worried and who have got depression rather than dementia. There is a certain amount of trial evidence to show that if doctors concentrate on memory loss symptoms they miss a lot of people with dementia and

only pick up around 20 per cent of people who do go on to develop dementia.

‘If you have only a relatively small sum of money to spend on dementia you might decide that one of the best things that you could do is provide home care for people and have a relatively low paid workforce providing this service. You might get a lot more benefit from doing that than you would from paying some expensive old age psychiatrist to run a memory clinic,’ says Professor Iliffe.

simplicareEstablished in 1996 to manage Kent County Council’s ICES requirements, Commercial Services then developed Simplicare with the mission to provide person-centred care & support to the private and public sectors - as well as to individual consumers.

With services ranging from the provision of domiciliary care to the supply and maintenance of mobility products available through our retail stores, web shop and catalogue, we are committed to keeping people independent in their homes for longer.

We were one of the Whole Systems Demonstrator pilot providers and we continue to offer Telecare and Telehealth services, which will be showcased on Stand P10 at Health+Care 2013.

We believe people are at the heart of our health and social care provision and our recruitment service provides temporary or permanent staff at every care level.

Whatever the service, our staff always put customer choice first.

advanceAdvance offers an unrivalled breadth of services for people with disabilities or mental health conditions, including housing, specialist support, brokerage and employment. From our beginnings in 1974 we have enabled people to live the lives they choose at home, at work or in the community. Advance work with more than 4,000 people across 42 local authority areas.

In conjunction with the Tizard Centre we have developed Wraparound, a community-based housing and support model for people with very complex needs which offers both a reduction in costs and a proven increase in individual opportunities and safety; with Wraparound we have always achieved a reduction in challenging behaviour which is long-lasting.

But we have always been a strong innovator. Advance pioneered shared ownership; we have facilitated home purchases by more than 600 people with a range of disabilities, an initiative which supports independence and provides a cost-effective alternative to residential or institutional care.

ispy digitali-Spy Digital is an innovative digital communications company with a powerful new Telecare product: Care Messenger. i-Spy’s proprietary Care Messenger, driven by i-Spy’s own Infotu.be™ software engine is a unique interactive communication tool that allows personalised messages to be targeted to individual TVs overlaying commercial TV channels. Medicine reminders, activity announcements from wardens, visit prompts from nurses or carers, ‘good morning’ monitoring and comforting SMS messages from family and friends, are all deliverable.

At a time when looking after an increasing elderly population and extending their independence has become a high priority, Care Messenger makes a revolutionary contribution to assisted living and modern social and healthcare. Care Messenger brings significant cost benefits to service providers and opens up a new world of communication to increase the sense of inclusion and wellbeing for elderly residents living in housing schemes, residential care homes, or independently in the community.i-Spy Digital Limited, Rotterdam House, 116 Quayside, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 3DY.Tel: +44 (0) 191 [email protected]

carbon colourBrighten up your care home with custom display images

Even the most carefully thought out and maintained building in the care environment can feel dull and uninspiring. Bright and relevant images transform spaces into welcoming and pleasant areas.

If you have a reception area that need sprucing up, a dining hall that’s a bit dull, or would like a series of display panels throughout your home, carbon colour can help.

You can choose from a wide range of materials and finishes to suit your environment, including panels, framed pictures and digital wallpaper. You are welcome to supply

your own images and we also offer a library of images specifically chosen for care display.

You will receive a complete service from measuring the area, project management and image selection through to production and finally installation.

can councIllors be facIlItators and commIssIoners? JoIn the debate at health+care Given the changes foreshadowed in the government’s White Paper ‘Caring for our Future’ local authorities will need to shift from being procurers of care to being facilitators of the wider care market, Professor Andrew Kerslake, Associate Director of the Institute of Public Care, will say in a talk to the Health+Care event.

In the past local councils were the main purchasers of care and in most parts of the country they dominated the market. That is changing. More people are now self-funders either because eligibility criteria have changed or people are better off because they have equity in their houses and occupational pensions.

The task for local authorities will be one of ensuring there is suitable care available at the right price for all regardless of whether they are self-funding or

are using state funds. Consequently, they will need a wider understanding of the care market and how they can stimulate innovation across the sector; a task that may prove difficult at a time of financial hardship.

‘This means local authorities will have less control of the market than they have had in the past and they will have to show that they can offer the market real help in terms of the role they will be performing in helping to facilitate care,’ says Professor Kerslake.

However, social care is not master of its own destiny. Demand is influenced by whether people have suitable accommodation which promotes their health and well-being (and given that nearly 80% of older people are home owners that means housing predominantly in the private sector) and on the

performance of the NHS.

Professor Kerslake says reports from the Royal College of Physicians and other organisations show that the NHS has a poor record in dealing with conditions that are prevalent amongst older people such as strokes, falls, continence and dementia. With the advent of health and well-being boards, local authorities and GPs need to seize the initiative to drive down demand for health and care in older age. If they fail to do so, the demographic growth of the older people’s population in some parts of the country could bring public care systems to their knees.

Local authorities and health commissioners also need to be clearer about the role and tasks that they think residential care should perform and for whom.

maKIng sense of dementIa at health+carePatient-centred care for people with dementia means acknowledging that every person comes with their own life history, according to Penny Garner, founder and clinical director of the Contented Dementia Trust.

Mrs Garner is an expert is this area having founded a unique method for managing dementia care, known as the SPECAL method, which places the well-being of the person with dementia at the centre of care.

The method, which is tailor-made for dementia, whatever the cause, treats dementia, once it is diagnosed, as a disability and works positively with it, rather than trying to ignore or defeat it.

The SPECAL method is based on an innovative way of understanding dementia from the point of view of the person with the condition, called the SPECAL Photograph Album.

Using the analogy of memory as a photograph album, this method can be used to minimise the confusion arising from short term memory problems; intact memories from the person’s pre-dementia past can provide a link to their activities in the present. This means that the person is able to maintain a relatively contented life in the present, drawing on their own memories of situations and activities which may have occurred many years ago but still have useful meaning for them in their life today.

Mrs Garner has been developing and refining the SPECAL method since the 1990s. It grew out of her own personal experience of caring for her mother when she had dementia.

Now the Contented Dementia Trust, which she founded, provides training which helps families learn how to develop individualised care for their person with dementia and offers professionals ways to target their help more effectively.

‘My mother was my best friend and I listened very carefully to what she said. When you are a carer you have to have unconditional positive regard for the other person because all their behaviour has meaning and it’s not daft.

‘It’s important not to label them – that’s when person centred care comes in – it’s applicable to every human being and it’s not peculiar to dementia, it’s what every human being needs. I would hope the principle of person centred care is used everywhere, not just in the NHS,’ says Mrs Garner.

delegates to the health+care conference will be able to hear more about mrs garner’s work when she speaks in a panel debate on the hallmarks of patient-centred care for people with dementia

‘We have got to stop creating residential care that is a one foot in the grave hostel model. What we need is a slimmer, but better funded, residential care sector. I never understand how we think for the price of travel lodge bed we can deliver twenty four hour, good quality care for older people,’ says Professor Kerslake.
