Practices fail to offer dementia care plan review

Patients with dementia are not receiving the right care they are entitled to, as one out of three does not get their care plans reviewed regularly. The findings come from an analysis of NHS Digital Recorded Dementia Diagnoses monthly publication in November 2017 by the British charity Age UK.  The charity looked at 7,185 GP practices and found that out of the 458,461 patients that had a recorded diagnosis of dementia in November 2017, only 282,573 received a care plan review or a new care plan in the last year.Hide related content:  Show related contentread more
