✦ Synopsis
In order to understand better how much information is shared with people who are diagnosed with dementia, a questionnaire was sent to 20 memory disorders clinics in England, Scotland and Eire. We asked if they had a policy for sharing the diagnosis, how they did this and what terminology was used, and what support services were available afterwards. Our findings are reported.
