He’s got a buzzer

  • Communication
Here we see a patient’s requests being ignored as ‘he has a buzzer’.

Key action points

  • Don’t give a buzzer to someone with dementia and expecting them to just know how to use it
  • If the patient has a buzzer check regularly that it is within reach
  • Check on patients with dementia more regularly to ensure they are okay
Improving the quality and humanity of hospital care for people living with dementia.
