Achieving quality of care in dementia by timely diagnosis

摘要

Brunet thinks that current interest in dementia will lead to harm and overdiagnosis.This current awareness is a triumph for a concerted approach from patients, carers, the public, professionals, charities, policy makers, and politicians. There is great dissatisfaction with existing services, especially regarding delays in diagnosis and support immediately after diagnosis and throughoutthe illness. People involved in dementia practice and policy wantto improve this situation so that patients with dementia, families, and carers feel supported at every stage ofthe illness.
