: trans and gender diverse people's perspectives on sexual health services in the United Kingdom.

Objectives: Trans and/or gender diverse (T/GD) people in the UK are less likely to access sexual health services (SHS) than cisgender people and are more likely to report negative experiences. The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) developed expert recommendations for T/GD-inclusive SHS, but these lack service user perspectives. This study addressed this gap by asking T/GD people how SHS could be T/GD-inclusive.

What are the challenges that social prescribers face when supporting people within dementia and how can these be addressed? A qualitative study.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that social prescribing might have a positive impact on identity, control, creativity and quality of life in people with dementia. While evidence on the benefits of social prescribing is accumulating, there is a sparsity of research on the experiences of social prescribers. This study aims to identify the challenges that social prescribers face when supporting people with dementia and their families and strategies to address these.

Development of a decision-support framework to support professionals and promote comfort among older hospital inpatients living with dementia.

Background: Acute hospital wards can be difficult places for many people living with dementia. Promoting comfort and wellbeing can be challenging in this environment. There is little evidence-based support for professionals working on acute care wards on how to respond to distress and maximise comfort and wellbeing among patients living with dementia.

South Asian, Black and White ethnicity and the effect of potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia: A study in English electronic health records.

Introduction: We aimed to investigate ethnic differences in the associations of potentially modifiable risk factors with dementia.

Methods: We used anonymised data from English electronic primary care records for adults aged 65 and older between 1997 and 2018. We used Cox regression to investigate main effects for each risk factor and interaction effects between each risk factor and ethnicity.

Protocol for the feasibility and implementation study of a model of best practice in primary care led postdiagnostic dementia care: PriDem.

Introduction: Care is often inadequate and poorly integrated after a dementia diagnosis. Research and policy highlight the unaffordability and unsustainability of specialist-led support, and instead suggest a task-shared model, led by primary care. This study is part of the PriDem primary care led postdiagnostic dementia care research programme and will assess delivery of an evidence-informed, primary care based, person-centred intervention.

Models of care and the role of clinical pharmacists in UK primary care for older adults: A scoping review protocol.

Introduction: There has been global investment of new ways of working to support workforce pressures, including investment in clinical pharmacists working in primary care by the NHS in the England. Clinical pharmacists are well suited to support older adults who have multiple long-term conditions and are on multiple medications. It is important to establish an evidence base for the role of clinical pharmacists in supporting older adults in primary care, to inform strategic and research priorities.

Experiences of people with dementia and informal caregivers with post-diagnostic support: Data from the international COGNISANCE study.

Objectives: The study aims to describe people with dementia and informal caregivers' respective experiences of support after diagnosis and compares these experiences. Additionally, we determine how people with dementia and informal caregivers who are satisfied with support differ from those dissatisfied.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey study in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, and United Kingdom was carried out to examine people with dementia and informal caregivers experience with support (satisfaction with information, access to care, health literacy, and confidence in ability to live well with dementia).

Views of people living with dementia and their carers on their present and future: a qualitative study.

Background: Dementia leads to multiple issues including difficulty in communication and increased need for care and support. Discussions about the future often happen late or never, partly due to reluctance or fear. In a sample of people living with dementia and carers, we explored their views and perceptions of living with the condition and their future.

A feasibility study of a decision aid to support family carers of people with severe dementia or those towards the end-of-life.

Background: Advance care planning in dementia does not always happen. As dementia progresses, decisions are often left for family carers to make with professionals.

Aim: To test the feasibility and acceptability of the delivery and use of a decision aid for family carers of people with severe dementia or towards the end-of-life.

Incidence, age at diagnosis and survival with dementia across ethnic groups in England: A longitudinal study using electronic health records.

Introduction: We investigated the incidence of diagnosed dementia and whether age at diagnosis and survival afterward differs among the United Kingdom's three largest ethnic groups.

Methods: We used primary care electronic health records, linked Hospital Episode Statistics and mortality data for adults aged ≥65 years. We compared recorded dementia incidence 1997-2018, age at diagnosis, survival time and age at death after diagnosis in White, South Asian, and Black people.

Rapid development of a COVID-19 care planning decision-aid for family carers of people living with dementia.

Introduction: COVID-19 has disproportionately affected people living with dementia and their carers. Its effects on health and social care systems necessitated a rapid-response approach to care planning and decision-making in this population, with reflexivity and responsiveness to changing individual and system needs at its core. Considering this, a decision-aid to help families of persons with dementia was developed.
