British Medical Journal - Management of Dementia in Primary Care

The British Medical Journal, in association with the Alzheimer’s Society, has produced this e-learning module entitled ‘Management of dementia in primary care’.                   

It takes approximately an hour to complete and, if successful, you will be awarded with a certificate that counts as one hour of CPD/CME credit.

It focuses on:

• The need to be aware of underlying medical conditions and vascular risk factors, as well as treating pain in people with dementia
• Advice on specific drug treatments and how many behavioural and psychological symptoms can be prevented, without the use of antipsychotic drugs
• The importance of recognising the needs of carers and supporting them as well as the patient
