โญ๏ธ Another @PriDemProject paper in @BMJ_Open โญ๏ธ
Intervention to improve dementia support was feasible and acceptable, as were our evaluation methods.
Inclusion of people with dementia in research - accessibility and relationship building are key.

Delighted that our latest โฆ@PriDemProjectโฉ paper has been published. I wrote this on retreat with โฆ@sgriffiths_6โฉ and โฆ@KatieflanaganPCโฉ just before going on mat leave, so feels a real achievement to have it out just before I return. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/7โฆ
Over 900,000 people in the UK live with dementia.
The @PriDemProject evaluation study tested out a new approach to improving dementia care and support for people with dementia and carers following diagnosis.
These new, short animations introduce some of the findings โฌ๏ธ

Interesting talk from Emily Spencer @PriDemProject at #33AEC. Great to see the project was so impactful in increasing the number of GP #dementia care plan reviews & improvements in what was in them. Although terrible that the baseline was only 37% when itโs been a requirement for many years

An interesting & comprehensive read - this month even better as there's an article on ILC's research on healthy ageing in Japan - and how Japan might learn lessons from the UK, for example about #DementiaCare from @alzheimerssoc funded @PriDemProject - see pages 54 to 55
Are you a primary care clinician interested in doing a fully funded PhD? Great opportunities below, studying with us lovely bunch @UCL_PCPH. Please share!
๐ขCalling those with lived experience of dementia.
