Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

From 1978 to 2007 Steve Iliffe worked in an inner-city general practice, helping build a large multi-disciplinary team of doctors, nurses, psychologists and counsellors that achieved Beacon status for patient services. He leads a research team that works on service development and evaluation, innovative approaches to professional education and the provision of services. His research interests are in health promotion in later life, the recognition of and response to dementia syndromes, hospital at home services, and exercise as therapy for older people, and he is on the editorial board for numerous journals on these subjects. He is an Associate Director of the national co-ordinating centre for Dementias and Neurodegenerative Diseases networks (DeNDRoN) with a responsibility for primary care and patient and public involvement, and was a member of the NICE/SCIE dementia guidelines development group. In 2006 he won the inaugural William Farr medal for contribution to health care for older people.
