Collaborative Practice in Dementia Care

Sundari Joseph (Curatore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026

Drawing on case studies from around the world, this book explores how different professionals, organisations and agencies can and do intervene during the course of the dementia journey, from diagnosis to death, to ensure that care is integrated, coordinated and person-centred. Dementia impacts greatly on the health and social care needs for the person with dementia and their families and carers, and there is evidence that integrated and coordinated care with collaboration from different organisations and agencies can lead to better quality of life outcomes. This innovative text critiques and challenges contemporary practice, providing examples of good practice globally and reflecting on how their inclusion within policy and practice could prevent the fragmentation of care. It includes chapters exploring collaborative care strategies in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Japan, Qatar, Philippines and Australia, each with a different thematic focus such as organising and planning care, education for practitioners, and multi-sectorial and community collaboration. Two further chapters draw on personal narratives of caring. Providing a unique collection of best practice ideas for collaborative dementia care, this book is an essential resource for a wide range of health and social care practitioners, researchers, educators and students involved in dementia care and research.
