简要总结
The purpose of this study is to establish the acceptability of a guide developed to improve people's experiences of dementia assessment outcome appointments in comparison to a standard consultation. This study will also inform the feasibility of future research evaluating the guide and provide information on how well the measurements used provide evaluation of the intervention.
