The King’s Fund report on how ICSs can improve dementia diagnosis 

The King’s Fund has undertaken a research project commissioned by the Alzheimer’s Society to look at the role Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) can play in dementia diagnosis and care. 

They looked at the opportunities ICSs present to approach dementia differently and to improve diagnosis rates. They also identified barriers and enablers to improving dementia diagnosis by interviewing people affected by dementia and stakeholders. Their three case studies feature Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICS, Cornwall ICS and North East London ICS.
