Abstract: To investigate the professional dementia experts' understanding of a dementia-friendly hospital to identify its characteristics.We used a qualitative design embedded in a case study. A total of 16 semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with 17 professional dementia experts. Using inductive content analysis, the interviews were analysed in a participatory manner involving a group of researchers and dementia experts.We identified six characteristics of dementia-friendly hospitals: Proud to be dementia-friendly-That's what we want; Seeing the human being-Taking care of everyone; Having everyone on board-It's a collective task; Being professional-It takes more than being nice and kind; Rethinking the 'running' system-We have to change, not them; and Being part of the community-Thinking beyond the hospital.The concept of a dementia-friendly hospital seems complex and requires a rethinking of the traditional hospital. For a conceptualisation, the involvement of people with dementia and their relatives is important to gain a comprehensive understanding.A dementia-friendly hospital is characterised by professional care that comprises a safe, familiar and supportive environment, is prepared but also flexible, has everyone on board, and sees the human being. To become dementia-friendly, individual interventions such as training courses can be a starting point. However, an overall concept is required that also includes components that contribute to successful implementation and a welcoming culture of people with dementia.Our findings on the perspective of professional dementia experts contribute to the conceptualisation of dementia-friendly hospitals.We reported our study according to the COREQ checklist.The investigation of the perspective of professional dementia experts is one part of a larger study. In this overall DEMfriendlyHospital study, we interviewed professional dementia experts, people with dementia and their relatives and also involved them in a participatory manner in various stages of the research process.
