In September 2020, a University of Northampton (UK) team, led by Professor Parkes and Dr Mary O’Malley (now at the University of Worcester) were successful in securing funding from the Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fund. The central aims of the DEfIN-YD project were to share knowledge about young onset dementia (YOD) research; create a younger onset dementia public and patient involvement (PPI) network; develop ideas for future YOD research; and provide a reference group to support researchers developing YOD projects. Currently, 21 people have been recruited into one of three regional groups. Prof Parkes leads the Midlands group, Dr Cole from University of West London hosts the Southern group, and Bradford University supports the Northern group. The members were recruited via the Young Dementia Network (YDN), Dementia UK, Alzheimer’s Society, the DEEP network, and local NHS Services. They come from urban and rural settings across the UK. Some attend the meetings alone and others are supported by advocates (usually carers). They have a variety of diagnoses and are at different stages of their dementia journey. The groups include members from different cultural backgrounds. They are able to share their personal experiences and are keen to do so in order to improve the care experiences of others. Due to COVID, members effectively completed all 5 regional workshop sessions from August 2021-March 2022 via Microsoft Teams. They are now fully prepared to engage in designing and developing YOD research projects. The top priority they identified for future research was for professionals to be more specifically trained in YOD. Once the workshops were designed and delivered, the first phase of the project was complete. Phase 2 (from April-October 2022) has sort to capture the experiences of participating in the workshops from the group members, facilitators, and project team; as well as developing a sustainable model for the future of the regional groups. The project comes to an end on the 31st March 2023.
In this presentation we would like to explore the following objectives:
Why we need specific YOD PPI research groups.
How we run the workshops and meetings.
How we hope to sustain the groups.

Objectives:
We aimed to understand the facilitators to developing and sustaining high-quality services for people with young onset dementia (YOD) and their families/supporters.
Design:This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews with commissioners and service managers, analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.
Setting:A purposive sample of providers was selected from diverse areas and contrasting YOD services.
Participants:Eighteen senior staff from YOD services and two dementia service commissioners took part.
Measurements:For commissioners, key interview topics were experiences of commissioning YOD services, perceived facilitators or barriers, and how future guidance should be structured for ease of use. For service providers, key topics explored experiences of delivering YOD services; what was achievable or challenging; how the service was funded; how it linked with broader provision for YOD in the area; and how guidance should be structured.
Results:Recorded interviews lasted 30–40 minutes. Seven key facilitators to the development and sustaining of YOD services were identified: having knowledgeable, committed local champions; involvement of people living with YOD and family supporters; initial delivery within existing resources; partnership working within and between sectors; having a reflective, supportive organizational culture; gathering evidence of impact; and having wider support and guidance.
Conclusions:Improvements in provision for those with YOD and their families need to be built on understanding of service-level and interpersonal influences as well as on understanding of YOD itself. Our findings highlight a set of facilitators which need to be in place to establish and sustain high-quality YOD services that fit the local context.

Evidence on post-diagnostic support for people with young onset dementia is scarce. Previous studies have employed a problem-focused approach; however, evidence on ‘what works’ in real-life practice is essential to develop recommendations for service design and delivery. This study aimed to provide insight into ‘what works’ from the perspectives of people with young onset dementia and their supporters. We gathered free-text responses on positive service experiences via a UK cross-sectional survey. Inductive thematic analysis was used to identify the objectives of positive services and the needs these met. Follow-up interviews enabled in-depth insights from people with diverse diagnoses, ages and social situations. These were analysed using a template drawn from the survey. The 233 survey respondents gave 856 examples of positive support. Analysis of 24 follow-up interviews led to 16 themes clustered under three superordinate themes: ‘maintaining autonomy’, ‘being myself’ and ‘togetherness’. We found that positive services address the disruptions to sense of agency, selfhood and meaningful relationships that are experienced by those with young onset dementia. The study provides an in-depth understanding of the needs met by positive services for younger people with dementia. Our nuanced findings on good practice can inform age-specific guidelines for young onset dementia and indicate how personalisation can work in practice to help people with young onset dementia to maintain identity, autonomy and connections.

Background
Routine psychiatric assessments tailored to older patients are often insufficient to identify the complexity of presentation in younger patients with dementia. Significant overlap between psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative disease means that high rates of prior incorrect psychiatric diagnosis are common. Long delays to diagnosis, misdiagnosis and lack of knowledge from professionals are key concerns. No specific practice guidelines exist for diagnosis of young-onset dementia (YOD).
AimsThe review evaluates the current evidence about best practice in diagnosis to guide thorough assessment of the complex presentations of YOD with a view to upskilling professionals in the field.
MethodA comprehensive search of the literature adopting a scoping review methodology was conducted regarding essential elements of diagnosis in YOD, over and above those in current diagnostic criteria for disease subtypes. This methodology was chosen because research in this area is sparse and not amenable to a traditional systematic review.
ResultsThe quality of evidence identified is variable with the majority provided from expert opinion and evidence is lacking on some topics. Evidence appears weighted towards diagnosis in frontotemporal dementia and its subtypes and young-onset Alzheimer's disease.
ConclusionsThe literature demonstrates that a clinically rigorous and systematic approach is necessary in order to avoid mis- or underdiagnosis for younger people. The advent of new disease-modifying treatments necessitates clinicians in the field to improve knowledge of new imaging techniques and genetics, with the goal of improving training and practice, and highlights the need for quality indicators and alignment of diagnostic procedures across clinical settings.

Environments need to be designed such that they support successful orientation for older adults and those with dementia who often experience marked difficulties in their orientation abilities. To better understand how environments can compensate for decreasing orientation skills, voice should be given directly to those experiencing dementia to describe how they find their way and to understand their design preferences. This study explored the navigational experiences and design preferences of older adults with memory difficulties living in a retirement development. In-depth semi-structured interviews with 13 older adults experiencing memory difficulties were conducted. All participants were residents of one retirement development in the United Kingdom. Questions began broadly, for example, to describe their experiences of navigating in their living environment, before discussing any specific navigation difficulties in detail. Thematic analysis identified three main themes: highlighting environmental design that causes disorientation, strategies to overcome disorientation, and residents’ suggestions to improve the design. The design suggestions were particularly informative, heavily focusing on the importance of having memorable and meaningful spaces which were favoured more than signage as an orientation aid. The findings demonstrate the need to consider environmental design to support orientation for those with memory difficulties. Of particular importance is the use of meaningful and relevant landmarks as orientation aids which can additionally stimulate conversation and increase wellbeing. Given the range of suggestions in dementia-friendly design guidelines aimed to support orientation, it is crucial to speak directly to those living in different environments to learn how they find their way around and what design works in their environment.

The most common cause of sleepiness is sleep deprivation, which is often due to behaviorally induced sleep limitations. One method of preventing impaired or shortened sleep is to ensure good sleep hygiene. It is important to review with patients the principles of sleep hygiene so that they can rule out causal behaviors that might be relatively simple to correct. Principles of good sleep hygiene include maintaining a regular sleep/wake schedule, exposure to light in the morning hours, avoiding caffeine and nicotine especially 4–6 hours before bedtime, avoiding alcohol and heavy meals before sleep, regular exercise (vigorous exercise should be avoided 3–4 hours before sleep), limiting time in bed to the time spent sleeping, and allowing sufficient time to get comfortable and relaxed prior to sleep. Even if one can fall asleep after drinking alcohol or caffeine, sleep maintenance can be curtailed. Sensitivity to these stimulants is often apparent in the latter half of the night. People often fail to recognize that vigorous aerobic workouts close to bedtime makes it harder to fall asleep. This is because a revved up metabolism heats the body up, and thereby delays the normal cooling of the core body temperature which triggers the onset of sleep.
One study assessed the sleep of 259 subjects using the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), an objective measure of daytime sleepiness that assesses how quickly someone can fall asleep in conducive conditions. The results indicated that many people in the general population carry a very heavy burden of sleepiness (Slide 1). Many physicians were shown to carry pathological levels of sleepiness because of their heavy call schedules and their foreshortened sleep on nights that they are not on call. The average adult needs 8.2 hours of sleep per night, and not surprisingly many studies have found that the sleepiest adults spent ≤6 hours in bed. What makes matters worse is that insight into the impairments of sleepiness erodes rapidly, but other cognitive and somatic impairments continue to mount with regular chronic under-sleeping. When sleepiness is due to chronic sleep deprivation, treatment often consists of scheduling enough time in bed to allow for an adequate amount of sleep.

The 2013 Infection Prevention and Control (IP&C) Guideline for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) was commissioned by the CF Foundation as an update of the 2003 Infection Control Guideline for CF. During the past decade, new knowledge and new challenges provided the following rationale to develop updated IP&C strategies for this unique population:
1. The need to integrate relevant recommendations from evidence-based guidelines published since 2003 into IP&C practices for CF. These included guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and key professional societies, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA). During the past decade, new evidence has led to a renewed emphasis on source containment of potential pathogens and the role played by the contaminated healthcare environment in the transmission of infectious agents. Furthermore, an increased understanding of the importance of the application of implementation science, monitoring adherence, and feedback principles has been shown to increase the effectiveness of IP&C guideline recommendations.
2. Experience with emerging pathogens in the non-CF population has expanded our understanding of droplet transmission of respiratory pathogens and can inform IP&C strategies for CF. These pathogens include severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and the 2009 influenza A H1N1. Lessons learned about preventing transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens in non-CF patient populations also can inform IP&C strategies for CF.

Seclusion of psychiatric inpatients is used as a last resort in managing disturbed behaviour. Research on factors contributing to its use is limited. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a change in unit size and other variables, such as time of day and nursing workload, on the rates of use of seclusion in an intensive care inpatient psychiatric unit. Rates of seclusion were examined in randomly selected nursing shifts across three time periods; one before and two after a change in the size of the unit. Effects on seclusion rates of size, shift and four nursing workforce variables were explored using multivariate analysis. Unit size, shift and nurse hours together explained 23% of the variance in seclusion use. Of particular significance was the change from a 20 bed unit to two separate 10 bed units. The findings have implications for the organisation of inpatient psychiatric units. Smaller units may allow better management of disturbed behaviour.
