General Practice

“General practice often acts as a gatekeeper for key aspects of care for people with dementia. For many it is the GP practice that opens the door to information, support and planning; GPs often provide the information and signposting needed to access support; and GPs hold responsibility for care plans and reviews for ongoing management. It is therefore ever more important that the systems and processes of general practice are geared up to support people with dementia” (Alzheimers Society UK)
