To better understand research priorities DIUs, we undertook two-round online Delphi survey PLWD experience their carers professionals...
psychological symptoms and delirium are common, but underreported in people with dementia on hospital wards. Unrecognised untreated can manifest as distress. Identifying distress accurately therefore could act a trigger for better investigation treatment of the underlying causes. The challenges faced by healthcare professionals to recognise report poorly understood.semi-structured interviews purposive sample 25 working older general hospitals were conducted. Interviews analysed generating...

Abstract Background People with dementia frequently develop behavioural and psychological symptoms, sometimes necessitating care in specialist mental health wards.

Method We conducted a retrospective analysis 576 admitted Cambridgeshire Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust wards...
Aims Service users taking long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LIAs) may experience recurrence of symptoms as they approach trough levels within a steady-state cycle. Limited research exists around symptom variation between peak-to-trough plasma concentrations LIA inter-dose intervals. Different LIAs have variable rates change in dopamine receptor occupancy during this due to differing elimination half-lifes. It is unclear what rate D 2 blockade tolerated by patients at present, which...

People diagnosed with dementia are often started on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs). As AChEIs can be associated cardiac side-effects, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is sometimes requested before treatment. Previous work has suggested there little consensus as to when or how ECGs should obtained. This create inconsistent practice, patient safety, economic and practical repercussions. We surveyed 305 UK memory clinic practitioners about prescribing practice.More than 84% of respondents...

To monitor for drug-related cardiac arrhythmias, psychiatrists regularly perform and interpret 12-lead (12L) and, increasingly often, six-lead (6L) electrocardiograms (ECGs). It is not known how training on this complex skill updated or well can relevant arrhythmias either device.We conducted an online survey ECG interpretation test of rhythms to psychiatrists.A total 183 prescribers took part; 75% did update their skills, only 22% felt confident in interpreting ECGs.

Abstract Background/Aims Glucocorticoid toxicities are well-known, but patient involvement work (PMR Voices 2021) had highlighted a need for better education/counselling about side-effects, including early neuropsychiatric toxicity, and support self-management. In our audit of steroid-induced hyperglycaemia, attempts to improve counselling proved challenging implement. Therefore, we sought in designing quality improvement (QI) project informed by their lived experience. Methods Using insight...
