John's Campaign : ウィキペディア英語版 | John's Campaign John's Campaign is a campaign for extended visiting rights for family carers of patients with dementia in hospitals in the United Kingdom. In February 2014 writer Nicci Gerrard's father Dr John Gerrard, aged 86, spent five weeks in hospital for the treatment of leg ulcers. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease and his family's visiting was severely restricted because of a combination of normal "visiting hours" and an infectious outbreak. His condition deteriorated dramatically while he was in hospital; having previously been living well with Alzheimers he became "skeletal, incontinent, immobile, incoherent" and needed 24-hour care. He died in November 2014. His family believe that the lack of contact with familiar people and the lack of the individual attention they would have given him contributed significantly to his deterioration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.johnscampaign.org.uk/index.html )〕 In November 2014 Nicci Gerrard wrote an article in ''The Observer'' after her father's death, the following week's issue featured several supportive letters, and the campaign developed thereafter. An Early Day Motion was put before the UK Parliament in December 2014 with the title "John's Campaign and the right to stay with dementia patients in hospital."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2014-15/586 )〕 The campaign has received coverage including the April 2015 edition of the Alzheimer's Society's magazine ''Living with Dementia'' and BBC Radio 4's ''You and Yours'' consumer programme on 29 April 2015. ==References==
