Professor Murna DownsProfessor Murna Downs (pictured left) and Margaret Anne Tibbs, of the University's Bradford Dementia Group, have recently written a book specifically for social care professionals working with people with dementia.

The book, titled 'Social Work and Dementia: Good Practice and Care Management', gives guidance on person-centred good practice throughout the care process from the initial diagnosis, through day care, respite care, long-term care, and death and attachment.

Professor Downs said: "The guide will enable social workers to manage their cases effectively and empathetically, making appropriate, culturally sensitive decisions."

The book is available from Jessica Kingsley Publishers priced £13.95.
