How to pin down ‘butterfly’ care

Daloni Carlisle Freelance journalist

An online tool is encouraging hospital staff to make the most of a popular scheme to improve dementia care. Daloni Carlisle reports

The tool gives feedback on things staff are doing well and what steps to take next, encouraging continuous improvement.
