Summary / Abstract

Unpaid carers are the mainstay of the UK care system for people with dementia. Yet caring
can have an impact on the well-being and health of the carer.
Admiral Nursing is the only specialist nursing service in the UK
that specifically focuses on supporting carers of people with
dementia, but evidence of its effectiveness, costs, and
relationships to other services is limited. This project aimed to
address this gap and explore the feasibility of full-scale formal
evaluation.
