Studies have shown that there are now less patients getting their annual care report in Brighton. NHS guidance has said that dementia patients have to make sure that they are getting their physical and their mental wellbeing looked after but right now this doesn’t look to be happening. They should be getting reassessed every 12 months but it would seem that those who work in Brighton healthcare jobs are struggling to meet the demand. Studies have shown that those who have dementia are far more likely to suffer from depression and other mental illnesses. On top of this, they are also nowhere near as likely to report the physical problems they may be experiencing. Societies have warned that there are currently a lot of outdated care plans and this could be putting a huge amount of strain on hospitals and A&E departments.
Societies have warned that right now there is a huge amount of strain being put on hospitals and that this is worsening the Brighton healthcare jobs situation. The charity have stated that the outdated care plans have left some people at a way higher risk and that they are also being taken to the hospital for issues that could have been prevented from the start. Brighton alone has over 343 dementia patients not getting their annual review and this accounts for around 19% of those who have a diagnosis right now. Of course, the figure is set to go up even more and this is not good to say the least. More needs to be done to ensue that people are not missing out on vital care but at the end of the day, healthcare services are stretched so much and they are not getting the funding they need.
