An expert on the relationship between dementia and personhood, Director of the TU School of Nursing Bill Buron has often found that as a patient’s condition declines, so does the quality of care they receive. To address this shortcoming, Buron’s research promotes a respectful and empathetic approach to nursing care for people with dementia, including addressing essential needs, gaining knowledge of a person beyond their clinical diagnosis and helping them to maintain personal and social relationships.
