Welcome to the CPPE page on dementia, which sets out to introduce you to the resources that CPPE and other websites provide around the topic of dementia. As you know, pharmacy plays an important role in working with patients, carers, health and social care teams, and other healthcare professionals to effectively manage dementia and associated medicines. On this page, you will find useful resources to better equip yourself and your team to feel confident when consulting with a patient with dementia and their carers. You can sign up to attend one of our Consulting with older people workshops, or complete our Dementia or Consulting with people with dementia e-learning programmes. You can also check out the Dementia floor on theLearningpharmacy.com, access Alzheimer’s Society resources, or refer to NICE clinical guidance and quality standards. There is a short quiz to get you started, and you can work your way through the rest of the resources in order to improve the service you provide to people with dementia.
The overall aim of this programme is to apply your knowledge and skills to help you manage and optimise care for patients living with dementia and their carers.
