Expert notes regarding inpatient care	This is due to the focus on making hospitals and similar facilities dementia-friendly instead of creating separate services.
Expert conclusion regarding dementia-specific care structures	Memory and outpatient clinics specialising in dementia are available in each of the five Danish regions. The responsibility for diagnosis and assessment is with the memory clinics. After a diagnosis of dementia has been given, the person is transferred over to public care. This means a dementia coordinator (there is one in every municipality) receives information about the patient and, if desired, makes contact to determine where there is a possible need for help. This also means that people with dementia are almost completely integrated into the healthcare system.
Existing models of good practise	1. The available dementia-friendly hospitals, 2. the nationwide provision of information about dementia in different languages by memory clinics and the Alzheimer Society, 3. the increasingly use of PPIs a for several years (for example, the Alzheimer’s Society has set up a panel with people with dementia that serves as an advisory body to many projects on dementia.)
