Dementia in general practice
This session will provide a practical approach to improving your knowledge, skills and confidence in the diagnosis of dementia in general practice. We will introduce a series of useful frameworks and demonstrate how these frameworks can be applied through a case study. The value of implementing a brain health check as part of the 45 – 49 year health assessment will also be discussed
Learning Outcomes:
1. Apply the Domains Framework to recognise features other than memory loss in people with dementia
2. Explain the trajectory of dementia by applying the Stages Framework
3. Apply the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Frameworks in assessing patients for a possible diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Dementia
4. Investigate risk factor reduction with a brain health check
