Dementia care, supporting ACPs, and handling hidradenitis suppurativa: March 2025 Primary Survey

Advance clinical practitioners (ACPs) can have a big role to play in the emergency department, but their career paths are not always well understood. This episode features three papers from the journal which begin to address that - a census survey of over 1000 ACPs, a qualitative study on their experiences in emergency care, and a commentary on how to improve ACP training. There is also a paper from Canada discussing considerations to be made for patients living with dementia, as well as their care partners who may be accompanying them to the hospital. A bit of a curveball to close out, with a review on hidradenitis suppurativa, a challenging skin condition which can take years for a diagnosis.
