PERFECTED, (Peri-operative Enhanced Recovery Hip Fracture Care of Patients with Dementia) was a National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded Applied Research Programme which aimed to improve hospital care for patients with dementia who break their hip.
Results demonstrated the feasibility of running a clinical trial in an acute setting and found the PERFECT-ER intervention could be implemented successfully. Here we provide insights into the project, the people involved, links to interactive downloadable resources and signposts to ongoing research and innovation in the field.
