Design/methodology/approach – Working in partnership with carers is a key goal of policy and practice. This paper demonstrates how this can work in practice. Findings – Key issues are synthesized, drawing on the stories of three carers who shared their stories as part of the original conference workshop on which the paper is based. Originality/value – Lessons for professionals about the nature of the dementia caring journey and dimensions of good practice are highlighted. |
