Dementia is observed in 80% of people living with advanced stage Parkinson's disease, however, there are inadequate opportunities for early and effective diagnosis of dementia in current clinical practice. This study aims to identify whether a new tool called PDCogniCare, can improve detection of dementia in people living with Parkinson's disease, and to explore what factors might influence its use in healthcare services.
People living with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, one year or more post-diagnosis, attending Movement Disorder Clinics
People with severe Parkinson's disease who aren't able to communicate
People with comorbid neurological conditions (e.g. Stroke)
