Dementia Carer
This pamphlet was developed with the aim of suggesting the type of support carers might seek from their GP. Its development was funded with a grant from the Bernard Judd Foundation as part of a wider project aimed to improve the care and support provided by GPs to carers of people with dementia still living in the community.
General practitioners provide general medical advice and treatment for medical problems, advice on how to stay healthy, and refer to (and work with) specialists and other services when required. GPs provide advice and support to the person with dementia as well as their carer. Some GPs write a 'care plan' or 'health assessment' for the person who has dementia. These can help carers remember important points and they can be shared with other health professionals.
