The proactive elderly care team (PECT) was introduced at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in October 2012. It had two broad aims which both related to all non-elective patients over the age of 75 years who either came to accident and emergency or were admitted into hospital, irrespective of speciality.The first aim was to screen all patients over the age of 75 years for delirium and dementia in response to the government CQUIN.There are about 800,000 people with dementia in England and Wales but only 41% of patients with dementia have a diagnosis, and more than 400,000 are undiagnosed.1
