Welcome to the CPPE page on dementia. This sets out to introduce you to the resources that CPPE and other websites provide you 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 or their carer. You could sign up to one of our workshops which may look at Consulting with older people, may look at working with people in dementia or you could think about doing one of our e-learning programmes around the topic of dementia. Look at the resources which are provided by the Alzheimer’s Society, or the resources from NICE, including 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 living with dementia.
