Providing Compassionate Dementia Care

A recent publication from NHS England sheds light on the state of dementia care across GP practices in England. The data reveals a decrease in the number of recorded dementia diagnoses, with 479,540 patients diagnosed as of December 31, 2023. While this number represents a slight decrease from the previous month, it's imperative to note that not everyone with dementia receives a formal diagnosis. This statistic serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for improved awareness, detection, and support for individuals living with dementia. 

 

One of the key metrics highlighted in the report is the diagnosis rate among individuals aged 65 and over. According to the data, 64.6% of patients in this age group estimated to have dementia had a recorded diagnosis by the end of 2023. While this figure reflects a marginal decrease from the previous month, it underscores the importance of early detection and intervention in managing dementia effectively. 

 

At Caregivers Ltd., we recognise the significance of regular medication reviews in dementia care. The report reveals that 39.5% of individuals with a recorded dementia diagnosis underwent medication reviews in the preceding 12 months. Medication management plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with dementia, and our team is committed to ensuring that our clients receive the appropriate medication and support they need to thrive.
