Dementia prevention, intervention, and care: 2024 Report of the Lancet standing Commission
A National Memory Clinic Survey to Assess Provision for People from Diverse Ethnic Backgrounds in England and Wales
English national guidelines regarding dementia assessment and management recommend consideration of cultural and linguistic diversity when assessing people with cognitive complaints. To date there has been no assessment of adherence to these guidelines. We aimed to assess whether current services provided in memory assessment services (MAS) adhere to national policy, in their approach to the assessment and management of individuals with memory pr…

Measuring the quality of life of family carers of people with dementia: Development and validation of C-Demqol
The robust psychometric properties support the use of C-DEMQOL in evaluation of overall and domain-specific carer QOL; replications in independent samples and studies of responsiveness would be of value
I know they are not trained in dementia’: Addressing the need for specialist dementia training for home care workers
Global population ageing has meant a rapid increase in the numbers of older people with dementia, most of whom live in their own homes. Staying at home is an important determinant of health and well-being. As care needs increase, the quality of community support which older people receive directly influences their capacity to remain in their own homes. While many are supported informally by family carers, formal support provided by home care work…

PP45 Developing Recommendations to Improve the Effectiveness of Multidisciplinary Team Meetings for Patients with Chronic Diseases
Background Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs) have been endorsed by the Department of Health as the core model for managing chronic diseases. It is believed that MDMs ensure higher quality decision making and improved outcomes. However, the evidence underpinning the development of MDMs is not strong and the degree to which MDMs have been absorbed into clinical practice varies widely across conditions and settings. We conducted a large mixed-m…
OP92 Improving the Effectiveness of Multidisciplinary Team Meetings for Patients with Chronic Diseases: Assessing the Predictors of Decision Implementation
Background Department of Health policy states that health care for chronic diseases should be delivered through multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs). It is known that multidisciplinary teams should include certain features (for example commitment to leadership) to be effective. But additional factors need to be considered: e.g. the context in which MDMs operate, group decision processes, and patient related factors such as their preferences and…
The prevalence of elder abuse and neglect: A systematic review
Older Irish migrants living in London: Identity, Loss and Return
More than a quarter of a million people left Ireland for Britain in the 1940s and 1950s. The literature on the Irish experience in Britain reveals high levels of social deprivation and poor health, some of which has been attributed to prejudice and discrimination, the legacy of a colonial relationship. Other commentators have suggested the more interwoven complexities for Irish migrants in Britain of maintaining an authentic identity. In this pap…
A qualitative study of adjustment to caring for an older spouse with psychiatric illness
An understanding of ways in which older carers' perceptions of their marital relationship and duty to their spouse underlie adjustment to care-giving is required for the development of acceptable and efficacious services for spouse carers. With this aim we conducted qualitative interviews with 20 spouses of older people with a mental illness identified in a representative community study. While carers acknowledged distressing changes in their spo…
