In the United States, spouses provide 17% of in-home care for people living with dementia. Negative impacts of dementia care on spouses/partners are well-documented, but we lack information about the holistic experience for spouses/partners.

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Systematic approaches are essential for adapting and tailoring implementation strategies to specific dementia care settings if we are to move evidence-based practice into 'real world' care that reaches most persons living with dementia. Care of Persons with Dementia in their Environments (COPE) is an evidence-based dementia care program that provides families with skills to maximize functional abilities and quality of life of persons with dementia and reduce difficulties managing day-to-day care challenges for family caregivers. The COPE in PACE study was a national non-inferiority trial that involved the implementation of COPE in Programs of All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE)- which provide support for nursing home eligible Medicaid and Medicare enrollees (NCT04165213).

Background: The 'Associate Psychological Practitioner' (APP) is an innovative new role that expands the psychological workforce and addresses the rising demand for mental health services in England, yet the impact of this role on NHS workforce capacity has yet to be modelled.
Aim: We modelled the impact of the APP role in Primary Care in terms of additional capacity to provide mental health care and the impact on General Practitioner (GP) capacity within the sector.
Method: Workforce experts of the NHS Workforce Repository and Planning Tool (WRaPT) team used a modelling tool to determine future state scenarios of APPs working across all Primary Care Networks (PCNs) within a region and the associated change on the baseline workforce.
