Abstract
The prevalence rate of those with dementia is rising. The impact on informal carers of someone with dementia is well documented and there is increasing recognition of the need to support informal carers for their own quality of life, the quality of life of the person they are caring for, and to prolong the time that someone with dementia is able to remain living at home. Evidence and national guidance have supported the provision of interventions for carers. However, there is limited detail of the precise nature such interventions should take. This article reports on a group programme of cognitive behavioural therapy for carers of people with dementia delivered in routine care. An outline of the programme content is provided and the results of an audit evaluating seven years of data are presented. Finally, the challenges in delivering such an intervention are discussed.
