They will specialise in the care of people with dementia and delirium and will demonstrate a willingness to develop expertise in the provision of specialist advice and support to ward teams, people with dementia and their carers. They will play a key role in the delivery of the trust Dementia education programme, providing training and evaluating training programmes. The post holder will participate in clinical audits and research within the specialist area. 

Together with the dementia teams, the post holder will contribute to the embedding of KPI targets and NICE Quality standards across the Trust, and the implementation of objectives within local and National Dementia Strategies. 

The post holder will influence the ongoing development of clinical practice within Dementia and delirium care practice, participate in research and contribute to the development of standards of care within the service, including the development of policies, protocols, guidelines and service developments in collaboration with multi- disciplinary colleagues.
