196 A Structured Literature Review of Diagnostic Processes and Pathways for People Living with Younger Onset Dementia

There is a need for improved linkages to be developed between Geriatric Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Primary Care services and in certain instances for suspected cases of YOD to be referred to neurology-led memory clinics.
