Innovative approachesThroughout the course of the intervention, practices worked to develop their own processes around care planning. The flexible nature of the intervention meant that practices could innovate solutions to fit their context, best using available staff to improve care provision. In two practices, an MDT approach was adopted, through the running of dementia review ‘one-stop-shops’.
