Healthcare professionals - whether in the community or in specialist care settings - are crucial in the early detection of dementia, helping to facilitate early intervention and better patient outcomes.

This site provides a wide range of resources and tools to help detect and manage dementia at the early stages.

For GPs, there's the GPCOG, a screening tool specially designed for use in general practice,1 as well as educational resources targeted at community healthcare.

For pharmacists, there are tailored educational resources to assist with early intervention, as well as patient-focused materials in our Managing Dementia section.

By detecting dementia early, we can assist people with dementia - and their carers - to plan ahead and make crucial decisions about the future.
