Summary

The investigators developed the theory-driven 'Compassion Intervention', an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to address existing gaps in end-of-life care for people with advanced dementia. The Intervention consists of two core components: facilitation of an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to assessment, treatment and care; and education, training and support for formal and informal carers. The intervention is implemented by an Interdisciplinary Care Leader. The primary aim is to understand how the Intervention operates in two care homes (with nursing support) in two different health and social care economies; one in the Camden Commissioning Group and one in the Barnet Commissioning Group, both in London, UK. The secondary aim is to collect preliminary outcome data and estimate the cost of employing an Interdisciplinary Care Leader to inform further evaluative studies. The final aim is to check that the Intervention causes no harm to residents and their family carers.
