Adaptive Implementation and Validation of the Meeting Centres Support Programme for people with dementia and their carers in Europe
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Worcester
Department Name: Inst of Health and Society
Abstract
MEETINGDEM aims to implement and evaluate an innovative and inclusive approach to supporting
community dwelling people with mild to moderately severe dementia and their family carers, called the
Meeting Centres Support Programme (MCSP), in three EU countries: Italy, Poland and United Kingdom.
This evidence-based, person-centred, approach has been positively evaluated, and implemented
in 90 meeting centers in the Netherlands, and is now well-placed to be trialled and implemented in
other EU countries. Demonstrated benefits include high levels of user satisfaction, reduced behavioural
and mood problems, delayed admission to residential care, lower levels of caregiving-related
stress, higher carer competence, and improved collaboration between care and welfare organizations.
Project partners in the three countries will utilise strategies and tools developed in the Netherlands
and adapt them to country-specific requirements, establish a group of appropriate organizational
collaborators in each country, develop an implementation plan and toolkit, implement MCSP, and evaluate
the programme in a controlled trial in terms of its impact on the behaviour, mood and quality of
life of people with dementia and carers, its cost effectiveness as a result of changes in use of other
(more expensive) services, such as hospitals and residential care, and psychotropic medications. An
overall evaluation will draw together findings from the three implementation countries to develop
recommendations for successful implementation of the MCSP across the EU and beyond.
The project will be carried out over a 36 month period. In Phase One (M1-18) activities will focus on
establishing an initiative group of relevant organizations and user representatives in each country,
exploring pathways to care and potential facilitators and barriers to implementing the programme, and
developing country and context-specific implementation plans and materials. In Phase Two (M19-36)
training will be provided to organizations and staff, after which the meeting centres will be established
and evaluated for impact, cost-effectiveness, user satisfaction and implementation process

Planned Impact
MEETINGDEM will provide a sustainable impact on both policy and practice: MCSP is a promising
innovative example of good practice regarding how care and welfare organizations and volunteers can
collaborate to provide comprehensive, integrated, high quality, cost-effective, accessible support to
people with dementia and carers, enabling them to live longer independently with a higher quality of
life. By adaptively implementing MCSP in other European countries, according to user needs, culture,
health and social care systems, substantial numbers of people with dementia and carers in these
countries can benefit from this system of support as well, while care providers and policy makers will
be provided with effective tools to face the challenges of dementia care in coming decades.

| Description | MEETINGDEM aimed to implement and validate the successful Dutch Meeting Centres Support Programme (MCSP) for community-dwelling people with dementia and their family carers in three very different European countries (Italy, Poland, UK). MCSP was developed following a community needs assessment in the Netherlands 25 years ago. There are now 150 Dutch Meeting Centres with a national help-desk and training available to support new ones. Typically, MCSP serves a local community of around 5,000 older people. The Meeting Centre "club" is offered 3 days per week in a non-stigmatising community location, supporting 10-15 people per day. Evidence-based psychosocial interventions are provided, tailored to the needs of members and facilitated by a small team of trained staff and volunteers. Family carers get practical information, personal advice, emotional support and social contact. The local focus helps agencies to collaborate effectively thus counteracting service fragmentation. MEETINGDEM aimed to take the learning from the Netherlands to assess whether it would work in Italy, Poland and UK, and whether comparable benefits would be achieved. Researchers worked together across the three countries using the same methods to establish pilot MCSPs and evaluate their impact. After exploring pathways to care, the three countries established initiative (planning) groups of collaborating organisations/user representatives; inventoried facilitators/barriers to implementation; and developed implementation plans, practical guides, toolkits and staff training. 9 Meeting Centres established (Italy-5, Poland-2, UK-2) that participated in the study. Our research demonstrated that the MCSP components and vision were highly adaptable for all countries. Country-specific requirements resulted in some minor variations. Factors facilitating implementation were: added value of MCSP and evidence of effectiveness, targeting people post diagnosis, enthusiastic local stakeholders, suitable staff and project-manager. Barriers were: competition between some care and welfare organisations and scarce funding. Overall, people with dementia and carers reported high levels of satisfaction with MCSP. Carers reported that the MCSP activities helped improve the functioning and provided a vital focus for social and emotional interaction for the person with dementia. Our research demonstrated positive changes when we compared changes over a six-month period for 85 people with dementia and 93 carers attending MCs and 74 people/carers receiving usual care. People with dementia using MCSP showed significantly better outcomes on Quality of Life (feelings of belonging, self-esteem, positive affect). Higher attendance levels were associated with greater neuropsychiatric symptom reduction and increased feelings of support. Carers experienced less burden overall. There were some between country differences. In Italy people felt significantly more satisfied and socially supported carers reported better mental health and less distress about mood/behaviour symptoms. Our research demonstrated that the health and social care costs were 990 Euro/month higher in the MCSP group, due to MCSP costs, but compared to 'usual day care' the combined MCSP costed only 3 Euro/hour more (20%). Evidence suggests that on some quality of life in dementia measures, MCSP may be cost-effective. In conclusion, MCSP is transferable across countries and leads to improved quality of life and health benefits for people with dementia and carers against reasonable additional costs. |
| Exploitation Route | In all of the countries involved the materials and know-how for setting up MCSP's have been established. There are national project websites in the partner countries: • Italy (https://ciditalia.wordpress.com/); • Poland (http://centrumspotkan.pl/), and • United Kingdom (http://www.worcester.ac.uk/discover/meetingdem-jpnd.html and https://droitwichspameetingcentre.wordpress.com/ ) In the UK there is a database of 300 people who attended six national workshops on Meeting Centres. A national conference was held on 21 March in Worcester presenting the key findings in the UK that was attended by 190 delegates to reflect on how this innovation for supporting people with dementia and their families could become part of the dementia care pathway in the UK. Round-table discussions were recorded on how the MCSP innovation could be taken forwards by a number of key players and stakeholders. 1. MCSP could be an important development nationally and locally as part of the dementia care post-diagnostic pathway. A major issue with post-diagnostic support for those living with dementia is that there has been a major push to provide timely diagnosis of dementia within virtually every national Dementia Strategy. It provides people and families with time to adjust, to plan, to make lifestyle choices including the opportunity to think about advanced care planning. However, with such a life changing diagnosis, with little hope of a cure, hopelessness, depression, fear and anxiety can follow and families can become isolated leading to negative consequences for them too. MSCP's provides a well-evidenced effective and relatively low-cost means to ameliorate this risk and build resilience over time. Currently very little resource is provided at this stage and Statutory Health and Care Services have been increasingly targeted at higher levels of need. This requires national strategic policy attention by NHS England, Public Health England, Academic Health Science Networks and NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups. 2. Support at the post-diagnostic stage (Peer Support Meetings, Alzheimer cafes, Singing for the Brain, Dementia Advisers, Day care, Home care, extra-care housing) is mainly delivered by charitable providers eg Alzheimer's Society or Age UK or by private home care agencies. Local co-ordination of these services is fragmented and sometimes duplicated. MCSP provide a focus within local communities for bringing these activities together. By providing information and support on how different agencies can come together locally to form a Meeting Centre the Dutch have managed to support new initiatives over the last 20 years. We now have the know-how in this country available. Our aim is to investigate how we can make this available to local groups on a sustainable level. 3. The growth of Dementia Friendly Community initiatives has been impressive with over 2 million people having undertaken Dementia Friends sessions. There are a number of DFC's who have directly utilised their social assets and social capital to address the provision of support for people with dementia at the post-diagnostic phase on a local level with engagement from retail, theatres, arts, leisure, sports centres, faith groups, universities and schools. Meeting Centres could provide a focus for this activity in a sustainable and integrated way. This would also have the benefit of local fund-raising, volunteering and skills development utilising these different sectors. |

| Description | Overview of Co-ordination and reporting A MEETINGDEM website with an internal portal (project management system) for the consortium members was established. The consortium agreement was signed in March 2014. A kick-off meeting was organised 14-15 March 2014 in Amsterdam. Next annual meetings were organised in Wroclaw (Poland) (27-28 March 2015), Worcester (15-16 April 2016) and Milan (20-21 January 2017). Three annual JPND progress reports were delivered in January 2015, January 2016 and February 2017 Brooker D., Evans, S. B. (2018-2020 Overview of Care Pathways Implementation Process for MCSP In Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom an inventory was developed of all care and welfare and other organisations involved with people with dementia in the region where a first meeting centre was planned. Based on this inventory of organisations, in each of the countries an information meeting about the MEETINGDEM project was organised in which these organisations were invited to participate in an initiative group to prepare the implementation of a (at least one) meeting centre in each country. There was a lot of interest in the three countries to be involved in the initiative groups, which resulted in a broad representation of care, welfare, volunteers and patient representative organisations taking part in each initiative group. The initiative groups were successfully established in Italy, Poland and the UK in June 2014. Reports on the structure of the health care system and the patient and caregiver "pathway to a professional for dementia care" were made for each country and integrated. A scientific publication on this subject was prepared and was submitted to a scientific peer reviewed journal in June 2017. Overview of Facilitators and barriers to Implementation of MCSP The monthly meetings of the initiative groups were started in June/July 2014. The first two meetings of the initiative groups (June/July 2014 and September/October 2014) were focused on the procedure of implementing a meeting centre and at an inventory of facilitators and barriers of implementation of the Meetings Centres Support Programme in each country and possible solutions. Reports were written on these facilitators and barriers and on the implementation strategies. After these two meetings the members of the initiative groups worked in smaller working groups to elaborate specific themes of the implementation (such as criteria of the target group, support programme, personnel, location, financing, etc.) until June/July 2015. Overview of Implementation Plan and Materials for MCSP: The work from the initiative group was integrated into an implementation plan per country in July/August 2015. Existing Dutch implementation materials (implementation guide, brochure, course for personnel) were translated into English and then from English also into Italian and Polish. Where necessary these materials were adapted for the different countries, based on the work of the initiative groups, to form a country specific implementation toolkit. Additionally, a preliminary version of the course for personnel was developed, based on the previous work done in the Netherlands: A schedule of the course for personnel with topics to be included was sent to all partners in order to discuss in the initiative groups in each country and to identify necessary adaptations for each country. Overview of training personnel and establishing active MCSP's The translated materials of the course for personnel of the meeting centres were used to compose a 4-day staff training course and 5 half days refresher course per country (I, PL, UK). The 4-day training was delivered to the personnel of the meeting centres before the opening of the centres. Some professionals of other organizations interested in MCSP also participated in these courses. In addition, training was developed for pioneers in other regions of the country, who were interested in implementing MSCP. The pioneer workshops in the three countries were delivered in 2015 and 2016. In three partner countries (I, PL, UK) MCSP was successfully implemented after an 8 (Italy) to 12 months (PL, UK) preparation phase. The first two socially integrated meeting centres for people with dementia and their carers opened in Milan (Lombardia, Italy) in May 2015. In December 2015 14 and 15 couples participated in these Meeting Centres respectively. Three other centres were opened half a year later, in November 2015, in Rimini, Riccione and Bologna (Emilia Romagna). The first meeting centre in Poland opened in Wroclaw in September 2015 and in December 15 couples participated, while 66 couples were on a waiting list. A second Meeting Centre in Wroclaw was opened in June 2016 (see below). In this centre 15 couples participated. The first meeting centre in the UK opened in Droitwich Spa in September 2015 with 19 couples participating. In February 2016 a second Meeting Centre was opened in Leominster (see below) with 18 couples participating. In all centres an official launch was organised where representatives of the Municipality, care and welfare organizations, people with dementia and carers and the local press were present. In all three countries immediately after opening plans were made with other interested organizations for the opening of new meeting centres in (or outside) the region. In 2016 seven new Meeting Centres were opened: a third centre in Milan (Italy), one centre in Sesto Giovanni and one in Lecco (Lombardia region), one 'mobile' centre in Vignola (Emilia Romagna region) serving three small villages, a second and third centre in Wroclaw (Poland) and one centre in Leominster (UK). This means that in total during the MEETINGDEM project 14 Meeting Centres were set up (9 in Italy, 3 in Poland and 2 in the UK). Furthermore, in all countries there are concrete plans for new meeting centres in other regions in the near future. Overview of the Effectiveness Evaluation: In the first year of the project measuring instruments were selected and, where necessary, translated into the different country languages, informed consent forms were composed, possibilities for control groups discussed and ethical review procedures started. In April-May 2015 the baseline measurements started among the participants of the meeting centres in Milan (Italy) and in September they started in Wroclaw (PL) and Droitwich Spa (UK). In December 2016 the data collection for the effect evaluation and cost-effectiveness analysis was completed. All data were transferred to the WP6 leader (Prof. Dawn Brooker, University of Worcester), who performed the Effectiveness analysis and to the London School of Economics (Prof. Martin Knapp) who conducted the economic evaluation. The numbers of data needed for a sufficiently powered effect analysis were achieved: in the Meeting Centres pre- and post-test data were collected from 85 people with dementia and 93 family carers; in the usual care group pre- and post-test data were collected from 74 people with dementia and 74 family carers. For the economic evaluation baseline and 6-months follow-up data were collected from 83 MCSP participant dyads and 69 Usual Care dyads. MCSP and UC costs from a health and social care (HSC) and broader societal perspective were examined, including costs of Meeting Centre attendances. Costs and outcomes for people with dementia and carers in MCSP and UC were compared. Principal outcome measures: Person with dementia: Quality-adjusted life year (QALY derived from EQ-5D-5L); QOL-AD. Carers: Short Sense of Competence Questionnaire (SSCQ). Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves were obtained. Subgroup analyses examined cost-effectiveness at country level. The data collection for the user evaluation in the three countries was completed successfully: 87 people with dementia and 81 family carers completed a user evaluation survey after three months and 83 people with dementia and 84 carers after 6 months of participation in MCSP. 32 people with dementia and 30 carers took part in focus groups after nine months. A scientific publication on this subject was prepared and was submitted to a scientific peer reviewed journal in June 2017. For the evaluation of the implementation process 76 checklists and 33 interviews were completed early in the implementation process (preparation phase) and another 28 checklists later in this process (execution/continuation phase). Two publications on the implementation process evaluation (one on the preparation phase in Milan (Italy) and one on the preparation phase in the three countries (I, PL, UK) have been accepted by peer-reviewed scientific journals (Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Aging & Mental Health). A third paper on the process evaluation of the next phases of implementation (execution and continuation phase) has been submitted to an international peer-reviewed journal in January 2017 and is still under review. Overview of Dissemination and Outputs: International and national implementation plan: An international publication plan was made in 2014 regarding scientific peer-reviewed journal papers, which was updated annually. In addition, an annual a dissemination plan for presenting MEETINGDEM at international congresses was made. Each country also made a national dissemination plan. Dissemination activities: Many dissemination activities (articles and presentations at symposia and congresses) were conducted during this three-year project to inform the public, policy makers, local governments and colleague researchers on the aims and content of the MEETINGDEM project. A MEETINGDEM website was set up including a closed internal section for the consortium members and a public part for public and organisations who are interested in the project. On the website, among other things, news on the Meeting Centres in the different countries and all addresses of the newly implemented MC's are presented as well as all publications on MCSP (previous published papers and papers describing the results of the MEETINGDEM project). Several scientific and professional papers were prepared and published: A paper on the study design was prepared and published by a scientific journal (BMC Geriatrics). Three scientific papers on the process evaluation of the subsequent phases of implementation of MCSP in the three countries (I, PL, UK) were prepared and submitted to peer-reviewed scientific journals. The two papers on the preparation phase (one about the preparation in Italy, and one about the preparation phase in the three countries) are published in Aging & Mental Health (January 2017) and Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics (April 2017). The third article on the execution and continuation phase, which was submitted in January 2017, is still under review (International Psychogeriatrics). Three papers were published in national professional journals: one in the UK (in the journal 'Working with Older People', Jan 2017) and two in Poland (both in the journal 'Advances in Psychiatry and Neurology', 2015 and 2016) and one in the International Psychogeriatrics Newsletter (June 2017). Congresses: The MEETINGDEM project was presented and well received at several (inter)national congresses, such as the Alzheimer Europe conference in Ljubljana 2015, the IPA conference in Berlin 2015, the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics Congress "Healthy Aging Beyond Frontiers" Chiang Mai 2015, ADI 2016 in Budapest (Hungary) and the Alzheimer Europe conference 2016 in Copenhagen (Denmark), the INTERDEM meeting organised as pre-conference meeting of the Alzheimer Europe conference 2016 in Copenhagen, and the XLVIIth National Conference of SIN 2016 in Venice (Italy) and the XIth National Conference of SINDEM 2016 in Firenze (Italy). A database of stakeholders interested in setting up MCSP in their own country was set up with their names and addresses. During 2016 this database significantly increased from 14 to 44 interested stakeholders from a growing number of European countries (Poland, Italy, UK, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland) and countries outside Europe (Chile, Mexico, China, Australia, Japan, South Africa). Also 64 other people signed up for the MEETINGDEM newsletter. Final MEETINGDEM dissemination events were held in the three countries where MCSP was implemented: in Milan (Italy) 19 January 2017; in Wroclaw (Poland) 27-28 February 2017 and in Worcester (United Kingdom) 21 March 2017. Overall achievements of the project The implementation of the Meeting Centres Support Programme was successful in the three countries involved: Italy, Poland and UK. During the project period in total 15 Meeting Centres were set up in the different countries of which 9 were involved in the evaluation study. The evaluation of the implementation of MCSP, i.e. evaluation of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, user evaluation and implementation process, was also conducted successfully. All planned deliverables (in total 26) were successfully delivered. A great number of dissemination activities (in total 312) were undertaken in the four countries involved, 3 papers published in scientific journals and another 6 are ready for submission in June 2017. Also 4 papers were published in professional journals. Recommendations • It is recommended to promote further dissemination of MCSP across Europe and beyond. The MEETINGDEM project showed that MCSP was more effective in improving the quality of life (feelings of belonging, self-esteem and positive effect) of people with dementia and showed positive trends in depressive and neuropsychiatric symptoms (agitation, agression). A greater symptom reduction appeared related to higher MCSP attendance. On a country level effects were demonstrated on positive affect, feelings of belonging and overall quality of life. Carers participating in MCSP experienced a reduction of burden and in one country (Italy) also a reduction in the distress caused by neuropsychiatric symptoms of the person with dementia. Moreover users of MCSP, both people with dementia and carers, appeared highly satisfied about MCSP and its programme components. A majority of family carers described the activities for people with dementia as functionally activating. Because of these quality of life and health benefits, the fact that unit costs of the combined MCSP for people with dementia and carers (16 euro/hour) are only a little higher than unit costs of usual day care for people with dementia (13 euro/hour), the high satisfaction levels of the couples about MCSP and taking into account the limitations of modern medicine regarding the (pharmacological) treatment of dementia, it is recommended to further disseminate MCSP as a model for supporting people living with dementia and their informal carers in Europe and beyond. • It is recommended to stimulate implementation of successful care interventions for people with dementia and their carers across Europe. The MEETINGDEM study showed that MCSP is transferable across different countries by means of adaptive implementation. We therefore recommend further dissemination of MCSP as well as further research into the possibility of transfer of other successful care practices across Europe and beyond. A Step-by-step implementation method, as used in MEETINGDEM proved efficacious in all countries. • It is recommended that projects focusing at the implementation of MCSP and other innovative care practices in other countries take into account the relevant generic and country specific factors traced in the MEETINGDEM project that appeared to facilitate or impede the implementation. • It is recommended that the research into the effectiveness of MCSP will be continued in the different countries using larger user samples and, if possible, randomised controlled trials. The MEETINGDEM study was an implementation study which explored if the benefits of MCSP found in the Netherlands were achieved in three other countries in Europe. The sample was too small to conduct a sufficiently powered analysis on a country level. Further research on a country level into the effectiveness of MCSP is therefore recommended. • It is recommended that further research is done on a country level into the cost-effectiveness of MCPS in the different countries. Evidence for the cost-effectiveness of MCSP across the three countries was mixed but suggests that on some quality of life in dementia measures (QOL-AD, DQoL), MCSP may be cost-effective. The work has led to a grant from the National Big Lottery fund to build a national infra-structure for meeting Centres within the UK (Brooker D., Evans, S. B. & Watts, M. (2018-2021) UK Meeting Centres Support Programme. Big Lottery Fund. £587,601. Meeting Centres are being developed throughout the UK, with a specific focus in Worcestershire. Worcestershire County Council are providing funding to pump-prime 9 new Meeting Centres within Worcestershire. |
