Experiences of primary care for people with dementia from socioeconomically disadvantaged areas: a qualitative study
Changes in primary care, including proactive contact, clearer communication of dementia-related care, and consistent relationships could improve patient experience. Clarifying primary care's role in dementia management is essential, especially with proposed shifts towards primary care-led post-diagnostic support. Further work is needed to establish if these experiences are described by people with dementia across all social strata or are specific to areas of socioeconomic disadvantage.
