MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This book follows people living with dementia through their admission, shadowing hospital staff as they interact with them during and across shifts.


In a major contribution to the tradition of hospital ethnography, it provides a valuable analysis of the organisation and delivery of routine care, and everyday interactions at the bedside, that reveal the powerful continuities and durability of ward cultures of care, and their impacts on people living with dementia.
