Why Australia needs dementia friendly ambulances |
|
Transport by ambulance can be a distressing experience for people with dementia. Noisy, enclosed, and unfamiliar, the environment can exacerbate symptoms, destabilise a person’s psychological health and, in severe cases, cause delirium.
This adds an extra layer of complexity to the individual’s healthcare, sometimes overshadowing the initial treatment being sought.
Dementia friendly ambulances could avoid this additional trauma following a fall or emergency. |
