Our Mandate Specific
to Dementia
“HEE will need to provide through LETBs in the
development of training programmes to support
staff to diagnose early symptoms of dementia and
ensure they are aware of the needs of patients and
their families and carers to enable them to provide
safe, dignified and compassionate care. In particular,
the GP workforce needs to be developed to ensure
it has the skills necessary to identify and work with
patients”.
