Care England launches Dementia Care Questionnaire
In response to the decision to remove the dementia diagnosis rate target from the NHS 2025-26 Priorities and Operational Planning Guidance (a story we covered here: https://journalofdementiacare.co.uk/dementia-diagnosis-rate-target-removed-from-nhs-2025-26-priorities-and-operational-planning-guidance), Care England has launched a Dementia Care Questionnaire.
Care England, alongside sector experts, is seeking to gather insights from individuals living with dementia, their friends, family members and carers about their experiences with diagnosis, care and support. The data collected aims to identify gaps and opportunities in the current dementia care pathway and to charge government with the necessary improvements to dementia care support services.
The questionnaire addresses the following points:
- What support did a dementia diagnosis unlock?
- How important is a dementia diagnosis to you/your friend/relative or the person you care for?
- How do you expect the removal of the dementia diagnosis rate target will impact those seeking a dementia diagnosis?
