| Annotation | This guide for people with dementia and their carers is the first of its kind to be made available across the whole of the UK. It offers advice to help people come to terms with their diagnosis, and to plan ahead and enable them to live well with the condition. The guide, which has been produced by Alzheimer's Society and part-funded by the Department of Health (DH), is designed for frontline healthcare professionals to offer to people recently diagnosed with dementia. It includes sections focusing on the emotional impact of a diagnosis; drug treatments that are available; signposting to services available through the NHS; social services, charities and private organisations; and support for carers. The guide has been endorsed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCP), the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS). (RH). |
