2010 The Journal of Mental Health Training Education and Practice
The rising demographics of people living with dementia amount to an estimated 821,8841 (Luengo‐Fernandez et al, 2010) The cost of providing care and treatment to these people is marked; the cost of long‐term care alone amounts to an estimated £9 billion per year in social care and health care costs are estimated to be about £1.2 billion ‐ of this, hospital inpatient admissions amount to 44% of the total (Luengo‐Fernandez et al, 2010, p7) These figures are expected to rise over the next 20 years and will, over this unfolding timeframe, pose significant challenges to those tasked with commissioning health and social care services within the public and private sectors. The nature of those challenges will be explored and discussed further in this short article.

Education and support in the clinical setting promotes competence and confidence of staff as well as the provision of quality care. This paper will describe the development and evaluation of a dementia education programme that supported new clinical practice in dementia care for district nurses in an Australian context. Overall, staff who received training also required leadership at the clinical interface to support knowledge translation. Clinical nurse leaders in aged care were found to be an effective resource to facilitate learning and confidence when new practice was being introduced.
