Summary

The aim of this study is to generate knowledge on how to improve care for people living with dementia who are in acute hospital. The framework for data collection will be the SHEL \[Software (policy) , Hardware (equipment), Environment and Liveware (people)\] guidelines. This tool has been chosen for this research because Adams (2008) as well as George, Long, and Vincent (2013) argue that in order to improve care for people with dementia it is important to focus on both wider distal elements like the structural components of an organisation in addition to proximal features like the people factor.

This framework will allow for interview data to be collected on the following:

1. Interactions between patient, carers and staff.
2. Hardware (equipment) used on the ward.
3. Software (paperwork/policy).
4. The hospital environment.
