People with rare dementias, like young-onset or inherited types, have unique end-of-life needs.

Caring for someone living with dementia at the end of life is often overwhelming.

Unnecessary hospital stays can be distressing for people with dementia nearing the end of life. Dr Therese Johansson @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social will study how primary and community care services help reduce hospital admissions, promoting comfort at home. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhrG...
