1NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASEThe project aims to improve quality of life in patients with advanced stage dementiathrough their carers by:1.Lobbying for increased fundingCensus studies suggest that the percentage of people with dementia is increasing at analarming rate. However, dementia research is severely underfunded. The government spendsmore money for cancer and cardiovascular research. The disease lingers for several years andmakes the cost extremely high. The lobbying board should agree on the formation of campaigns.The expected results should be kept confidential. A budget should be developed for thecampaign. Increased funding can be lobbied by organizing staff and volunteer meetings, pressconferences, hosting special events like rallies and protests, employment of additional staffmembers and public relations personnel (Knapp, Iemmi and Romeo 2013). 2. Educating carers on accessing fundingThe persons suffering through dementia goes through a large scale of social and healthcosts along with reduced quality of life and shorter life span that put impacts not only theircondition but also to the family members. The way of accessing the increased funding should beeducated to the carers (O’connell et al. 2012). Thus, with increased funding the carers should beeducated in providing seamless, planned and proactive support services in treating the individualsuffering through dementia. The different health boards should be trained to develop the carepathways to provide the dementia patients with best possible care and assistance. The carersshould also be trained to conduct profound research on the occurrence and pathophysiology ofdementia with increased fund.
