Just wondering: with the development of general quality standards from the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the UK,can quality care be defined at such a level, or should standards be much more localised and situation-specific? After all, dementia care (my particular area of expertise) is different when considered from a general hospital setting from a day hospital or community setting. This is my proposed area of interest for my PhD and I would appreciate any views on this. What do you think?
