Abstract

The article discusses research which was conducted to investigate post diagnosis dementia care coordinated by either memory clinics or general practitioners. Researchers conducted a randomised trial of dementia interventions, including medication, nursing home admission, and diary keeping. In the 12 months of follow-up they found that several interventions were more often prescribed or advised by memory clinics compared with general practitioners and that this was possibly because memory clinics are more focused on dementia and have more experience in this field.
