Two-year anniversary reflections on the Chinese Admiral Nurse Project
Clinics Admiral Nurse for the Chinese Admiral Nurse Project, Emily Ka-Hei Lui, has been reflecting on the first two years of Dementia UK’s partnership with the Chinese Welfare Trust to provide specialist Admiral Nurse clinics for Chinese and South-East Asian families.
Emily says of her work:
“This role is crucial because dementia often carries a heavy stigma in these communities, making it difficult for families to seek help. They may also feel obliged to care for their parents or partners and often refuse professional help due to cultural values and a sense of duty. My role provides culturally and linguistically sensitive support, helping families access proper care. This ensures that families feel seen, heard, and supported throughout their journey with dementia.”
