Can Gerry Robinson Fix Dementia Care Homes?

Synopsis: Businessman Sir Gerry Robinson tries to turn around three struggling care homes. In the next twenty years over a million Britons will have dementia, and sufferers are likely to end up in one of the country’s care homes. It’s a huge business worth six billion pounds, yet care is often woefully inadequate. Can Gerry, whose father had the disease, change a culture of stagnant lounges, a lack of specialist staff and a focus on just keeping people alive?

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
