It lowers quality of life and impacts health and economic outcomes for individuals living with PD, their families, and society. Poor recognition and management of cognitive impairment and dementia in PD highlights the need for improved diagnostic and postdiagnostic care pathways. We aimed to inquire about current health services for cognitive evaluation in Australia from people with lived experience of PD. The objective was to derive recommendations for best practice guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This two\u2010stage exploratory sequential mixed\u2010method study utilised qualitative and quantitative methods. Stage 1 conducted seven online focus groups exploring the experiences of neuropsychological assessment, diagnosis, and post\u2010diagnostic support for cognitive impairment and dementia in PD. Transcripts were analysed using deductive and inductive thematic analysis and recommendations were derived from this data. Stage 2 involved a national survey of these recommendations to ascertain agreement using a 5\u2010point Likert scale. Recommendations meeting \u2265\u200970% agreement, median rating \u2265\u20094, and inter quartile rating (IQR)\u2009\u2264\u20091 were deemed acceptable for inclusion in the guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Focus groups included people with PD (PwPD) with subjective cognitive decline (PD\u2010SCD,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20096), mild cognitive impairment (PD\u2010MCI,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093), dementia (PDD,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093), and carers (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20093). Findings resulted in the formulation of 25 recommendations from four overarching categories and with several inter\u2010related themes: (1) Pre\u2010assessment (clinicians' reluctance to assess; referrals; informed choice), (2) assessment (delivery of assessment; telehealth), (3) diagnosis (need for transparency; focused discussion; time to discuss), and (4) postdiagnostic care (follow\u2010up assessment; information in plain language; advocating for PwPD). The national survey (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200969 PwPD,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200912 carers) found that all recommendations except one demonstrated high agreement (\u2265\u200988%, median rating \u2265\u20094, IQR\u2009\u2264\u20091). Delivery of a cognitive diagnosis on the same day as cognitive testing was the only area that did not achieve consensus.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified critical gaps in the diagnosis and management of cognitive symptoms within clinical services, and the subsequent implications for PwPD and their carers.
