Abstract

It is expected that the prevalence of dementia will continue to rise over the coming years, with subsequent effects on the well-being of families and increasing the pressure on an already over-burdened health and social care system. This article discusses the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for dementia and suggests potential interventions to support the reduction and management of dementia-related risks in primary care. It uses a case study to demonstrate the benefits of a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse role in primary care. The potential for dementia-related risks to escalate can have a wider effect on a person’s family if these are not appropriately identified and managed through specialist support.
