N2 - This policy brief summarises the evidence developed from the Empowering Better End of Life Dementia Care (EMBED-Care) programme. It endorses a step change in dementia care that draws on a model of integrated palliative dementia care that identifies unmet needs for people with dementia. Prioritising a holistic and person-centred approach, the EMBED-Care programme aims to improve the comfort and quality of life of those affected by dementia. With the ongoing priority-setting and planning for health and social care, there is opportunity to ensure that reform is informed by the high-quality evidence from EMBED-Care, which understands, prioritises, and addresses the needs of those affected by dementia. EMBED-Care is relevant for advancing strategic policy shifts towards community care, health equity, and digital transformation.
