It provides a record of the Peer Review discussions and the common themes which emerged. It attests to considerable progress in the South West to improve access to memory assessment, and post-diagnosis services.

It also highlights for Clinical Commissioning Groups and their local partners innovation, learning, and opportunities for improvement across the diagnosis pathway.
