Episode 17: Rheumatology Referral Forms & Pathways

This weeks episode features a chat with Tom Rose Clinical Lead for the Lincolnshire Admiral Nurse service. This service is going through a period of review so we discuss what that means, the current service and expected changes. We also discuss the use of virtual consultations and a research project the team have been undertaking looking into this new field. Below you can find the link to the published work from the team: Madden G, Rose T, Crystal L (2021) Using video consultations to support family carers of people living with dementia.

It is in fact World Alzheimer's Day is on the 21st of September. The focus this year is on 'Journey through the diagnosis of Dementia'. The national diagnosis rate has dropped to 62.1% over the last 18 months; internationally, 90% of cases are undiagnosed - in Lincolnshire the aim is to change this through active working through the new pathway. One of the challenges for people and families affected by dementia is getting a diagnosis in the first place. They struggle because they feel they aren't being listened to or having concerns dismissed. Diagnosis isn't just about access to medication. It is about recognition and giving people the support they desperately need to deal with the challenges they face.
