She currently works for the Bradford Dementia Group as a dementia care practice development consultant and trainer based from her home in Wiltshire. Paul Edwards is also a dementia care practice development consultant and trainer with the Bradford Dementia Group. Paul is a mental health nurse by profession, and previously spent many years developing person centred practice in the NHS. He lives in Leicestershire.

It is often easier to adopt the value of person-centred care without being clear what it means in terms of day-to-day practice reality. This book excels at being very clear about exactly what the processes involve and gives suggestions for how they should be undertaken.
