Dementia care at hospital and in the home
According to the Alzheimer’s society ‘developing integrated care presents an opportunity to transform the lives of people with dementia and their carers”. Mostly, carers say that hospital 'makes the dementia worse' and that the hospital staff do not offer good dementia care.
Come and join us as our experts in Dementia Care design explore how these spaces can be suitably designed and whether integrated services meet the wide-ranging needs for those with dementia when they move from independence to nursing care?
-
What impact are institutions like the NHS having on those with dementia? Is there a healthier alternative?
-
How can a building help people who feel permanently lost?
-
What is the role of architecture in well-being?
-
What is the importance of a sensory approach to designing accessible spaces for people with dementia?
-
What is the latest thinking in integrated care?

Henry Quinn BSc, PhD, MBA
East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust (EKHUFT)
My working career started with a bricklaying apprenticeship for McAlpines, for various reasons I decided this wasn’t for me. Subsequently I became a biochemical engineer and have spent most of my working life in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I have managed an antibiotic production facility and various research laboratories. Latterly my role was to support biologics production in the USA and Europe and with global responsibilities for conventional fermentation products. I have supervised PhD’s at a number of UK Universities and have sat on the Biochemical engineering panel of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
I now work for the strategic development group at EKHUFT promoting new approaches to the issues faced by the Trust and managing a range of projects, some of which I have initiated. The Dementia Village is a good example of one such project.
