Hello Barbara

I found quite a few references to the Framework, but not relating to your particular interest.

Have you seen this paper? It does not concentrate on care homes nor end of life care, but might be relevant:

Page, S., & Hope, K. (2013). Towards new ways of working in dementia: perceptions of specialist dementia care nurses about their own level of knowledge, competence and unmet educational needs. Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 20(6), 549-556.

I don't know if there would be anything else relevant written by the authors; Kevin Hope is from the University of Stirling:

Sean Page is from Bangor University, so writes from the Welsh perspective:

This is another possible source of information, but again, not your particular search need:

Banks, P., Waugh, A., Henderson, J., Sharp, B., Brown, M., Oliver, J., & Marland, G. (2014). Enriching the care of patients with dementia in acute settings? The Dementia Champions Programme in Scotland. Dementia, 13(6), 717-736.

I expect you have seen this link:

Ellison, S., Watt, G., & Christie, I. (2014). Evaluating the impact of the Alzheimer Scotland Dementia Nurse Consultants/Specialists & Dementia Champions in bringing about improvements to dementia care in acute general hospitals. Edinburgh: Blake Stevenson.

http://www.nes.scot.nhs.uk/media/2711493/impact_evaluation_-_final_report.pdf

I expect you have seen the 'official' links; again, they relate to dementia:

http://www.gov.scot/resource/doc/350174/0117211.pdf

http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2011/05/31085332/0

It will be marvellous to research another aspect of the Framework. When you are at a stage to write it up for publication, your work will represent a different perspective.

Very best wishes with this,

Mary
