| Annotation | In 2009, NHS Highland developed a Knowledge Transfer Partnership designed to support it in meeting its targets for early diagnosis of dementia, provision of early interventions, and promoting the quality of care and life for people with dementia and their carers. This article reports on the diagnosis pathways that are in place across the region, and the development of specialist services. It shows how policy objectives can be achieved, taking into consideration staff ideas, the evidence that is available, the ways in which dementia was being diagnosed, and how local resources were being used to meet the needs of the local population.
