'Pushing back': People newly diagnosed with dementia and their experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions in England.

Support for people with dementia, especially during public health crises when carers and services are under pressure, should involve utilising existing capacities, appropriately supporting the acquisition of new knowledge and skills, 'safety-netting' through the availability of a named professional, advocacy and support and use of 'check-in calls' and creating supportive social and environmental circumstances for people with dementia to sustain their own well-being.
