title: Advance care planning for people with dementia.
abstract: UK policy and guidance state that people should have their preferences and priorities for end of life care recorded in the form of an advance care plan. However, for people with dementia and their families, issues of reduced capacity, difficulties with discussing end of life preferences and staff understanding can make this process challenges. This research focus summarises two studies that explore these issues.
