Last week’s Dementia Action Week (15-21 September 2025), was a good reminder for practices that would like to consider strategies for fostering dementia-friendly environments within general practice settings, including:
- reading the latest research from Dementia Australia in the understanding of dementia, its causes, treatment and management
- building dementia care capability with Dementia Australia training courses for health professionals
- creating information displays for patients, families and carers with printable Dementia Australia resources
Guidance on assessing and managing dementia in primary care is available in the Cognitive Impairment and Dementia care pathways on Clinician Assist WA.
