Brandon Newman - Why data matters in human-centred dementia care

Brandon Newman narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this guest blog, Brandon Newman uses his experience as a paramedic to show how dementia care can be misread when clinicians only see a brief snapshot of someone’s life. He argues that shared care records and digital Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment can bring together information from paramedics, GPs, memory clinics, hospital teams and families, helping clinicians understand a person’s baseline, support network, history and wishes. The piece makes the case that better data is not about replacing clinical judgement or compassion, but about giving professionals the context they need to make safer, more person-centred decisions, especially when hospital admission may not be the best option.
