Abstract:

Shirley Law trained as a nurse at Hartwood Hospital in Lanarkshire. She then worked in London and in the private sector before her specialist experience in dementia care led her back to the NHS. Shirley is currently seconded to the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) at the University of Stirling where she is project manager for an innovative RCN-accredited study programme for healthcare assistants (HCAs) working in hospitals and care homes. By the end of its first year, 800 HCAs had undertaken the programme throughout the UK.
