1 Section 5 * Primary Care Primary Care is that care which would normally represent a patient’s first point of contact with healthcare services in the community. In the UK it is generally considered to be general practices and the services they provide. Usually, primary care services refer on to secondary care services provided by hospital trusts. Since April 2013, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) overseen by the newly formed NHS England, have been act as statutory NHS bodies responsible for commissioning healthcare services for their local population across a range of services which will include elective hospital care and community services. CCGs have a duty to promote the involvement of individual patients, and their carers and representatives in their care and treatment and to ensure that health services are provided in an integrated way with social care services, where this will improve quality of services or reduce inequalities. The Bradford and Airedale locality consists of three CCGs; 1. Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven CCG (AWCCCG) 2. Bradford City CCG (BCCCG) 3. Bradford Districts CCG (BDCCG) Dementia in Primary Care It is important to realise that as well as commissioning services, CCGs are organisations made up of the general practices that provide dayQtoQday primary care in the community. And so, alongside this familiar role, as commissioners of dementia services, CCGs are in a position to work with people with dementia, their families and carers, health and social care organisations and the community sector to develop a new dementia landscape in which services are able to meet the needs of local communities whilst remaining fair and equitable. General Practitioners (GPs/family doctors) provide the majority of medical care for people with dementia (1) , and an adequate primary care response is essential to quality of life for people with dementia and their families (2) . The roles they undertake in Bradford and Airedale include: Initial diagnosis Q Use of brief cognitive assessment tools such as the MiniQMental State Examination (MMSE) allow GPs to identify possible cases of dementia in primary care Basic dementia screens performed at the time of presentation, usually within primary care. This generally comprises blood tests designed to exclude any other causes of cognitive impairment, and to assist the GP and colleagues in best managing the patient Ensuring that the palliative care needs of people with dementia who are close to death are assessed and that the resulting information is communicated within the primary care team and with other health and social care staff. General ongoing support for both patient and carer

%The% data% presented% here% provide% an% overview% of% the% primary% dementia% processes% across%

Bradford%and%Airedale.%It% is% important%to%recognise%that%many%patients%live%outside%the%CCG%

area%when%planning%services%

The% prevalence% of% diagnosed% cases% vary% across% CCGs,% likely% due% to% demographic% and%

epidemiological% differences% –% we% will% shortly% add% further% analysis% of% this% based% on% ageN

standardised%analyses%

There% is% evidence% of% statistically% significant% variation% in% diagnosed% prevalence% rates%within%
