Dementia can add a layer of complexity to health and social care, as problems with communication and understanding can make it more difficult to diagnose and treat other conditions and illnesses. For many people living with dementia, generalist clinicians in primary care will be their first port of call. This FAQ guide examines issues experienced by these clinicians during their daily practice, and offers expert advice on how to support people living with dementia. Each section includes a case study to illustrate a common concern, followed by analysis of the underlying issues and suggested approaches or solutions from an experienced Admiral Nurse. Topics include distressed behaviours at home and in clinical settings, managing fall risk, supporting older carers or those with disabilities, and advance care planning.This evidence-based guide sets out skills and approaches for all health professionals to provide excellent person-centred care for people living with dementia.
