Elevate the quality of your care

Nothing is more important to us than improving care for people living with dementia. That’s why The Dementia Centre collaborates with key research and practice-based partners across the world.

The result is a collection of resources and publications offering evidence-based approaches to dementia care that can change lives. We take a holistic view of the issues impacting people with dementia and their families.

On this page, you’ll find topics of significant importance in improving quality of life. Together, we can ensure care is constantly being shaped around people living with dementia.

The Cancer Pain Book

Pain is an often misunderstood and under-diagnosed symptom for older people and people living with dementia, including those who have a cancer diagnosis. And so supporting greater awareness of pain management is important. 

The Cancer Pain Book guides the reader in understanding the pain experience — the what, how and why of cancer pain — and the mind-body connection. It places special focus on pain management through proven psychosocial interventions including exercise, relaxation, meditation and psychological tools.
