Evaluation of The Alzheimer Society of Ireland Dementia Adviser Service Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The first external evaluation of the Dementia Adviser Service (DAS) in Ireland provides evidence of overall high levels of satisfaction with the service. Clients (People living with dementia and their carers) and health and social care professionals reported satisfaction with the information, advice, peer support and signposting of services provided by the Dementia Adviser (DA). It is evident that the current DAS has grown organically since its inception in 2014, in response to client needs. However there are some differences in the operationalisation of the service in different areas depending on the level of integration and connection with relevant local health and social care services. Neither health and social care professionals nor clients were fully aware of the extent or scope of the DAS, therefore clarity of the role and scope of practice of the DA is needed. All stakeholders called for better integration of the DAS with existing services and greater public awareness and coverage of the service.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
