New Lancet Psychiatry paper on antipsychotic prescribing in dementia. These drugs carry serious risks, so exposure should be minimal. In England we found: ~1/10 treated; 1/5 start above min dose (~1/3 stay high); 50% exposed >7 months; ~50% restart. Read/share: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

If you're new to research, involving patients & the public in your work can seem daunting.

In this blog, CAPC PhD student Anna Pathmanathan shares how she overcame her nervousness & learned to appreciate the value of #PPIE.
