In NHS Ayrshire and Arran, almost 5500 people have a dementia diagnosis. This could increase by as much as 60% over the next 20 years (Alzheimer Scotland, 2007). National dementia strategies in the U.K. have identified a need for better training that supports staff in general hospitals. While all clinical settings will admit people with dementia, their specialist care needs are not always being met Better awareness will help ensure these are addressed on both admission and throughout their care journey. This is the second article describing a nurse led initiative to improve approaches towards dementia in a general community hospital. The first article (Crabtree and Mack, 2010) focused on raising awareness of dementia, while this follow-up article describes the development and implementation of a dementia champions programme.
在NHS艾尔郡和阿伦地区，近5500人被诊断患有痴呆症。在未来20年里，这一数字可能会增加多达60%（苏格兰阿尔茨海默病协会，2007年）。英国的国家痴呆症战略已明确需要提供更好的培训，以支持综合医院的工作人员。虽然所有临床机构都会收治痴呆症患者，但他们的专科护理需求并不总是能得到满足。提高认识将有助于确保在患者入院时以及整个护理过程中都能解决这些问题。这是第二篇描述由护士主导的一项倡议的文章，该倡议旨在改善一家普通社区医院对痴呆症的治疗方法。第一篇文章（克拉布特里和麦克，2010年）侧重于提高对痴呆症的认识，而这篇后续文章则描述了痴呆症倡导者计划的制定和实施情况。
