What Comes Next for Elizabeth’s Wish

Elizabeth’s Wish is still at an early stage, but its direction is clear.

The immediate focus is building public support, engaging policymakers, and working with organisations who share the same goal: safer hospital care for people living with dementia.

Contact with MPs is underway. Conversations with charities and professional bodies are beginning. Training materials, patient documents, and implementation tools are being developed alongside the policy itself.

This is not a one-off campaign. It is a long-term commitment.

Change in healthcare systems takes time, persistence, and collaboration. But meaningful change always starts with someone refusing to accept that harm is inevitable.

Elizabeth’s Wish is rooted in lived experience, professional insight, and evidence, but it is sustained by people who care enough to act.

If you are a carer, a healthcare professional, a policymaker, or someone who has been affected by dementia, your voice matters here.

Elizabeth’s story should not end with loss. It should end with progress.

And this journey is only just beginning.
