A right to be heard: Better palliative and end-of-life care for people affected by dementia

In this policy brief, we make four calls for action based on evidence:

  1. Prioritise dementia as a life-limiting condition
  1. Ensure equitable access to integrated palliative dementia care
  1. Optimise investment in community and primary care closer to home
  1. Invest in palliative dementia care research
