A report by the King’s Fund suggests that placing GPs in memory clinics and care homes could lead to better dementia diagnosis rates. The report, commissioned by the Alzheimer’s Society, says that improving dementia care is a crucial test for integrated care systems. While there are pockets of innovative practice, more work is needed to ensure consistent quality of care across England. The report recommends strengthening relationships between primary care, memory clinics, and services, introducing new roles for GPs in different settings, and increasing public awareness about dementia. These measures could help address systemwide challenges and improve overall care for dementia patients.
