“Timely diagnosis” as opposed to “early diagnosis” has become a key priority in many countries with well-developed National Dementia Strategies. Although written from largely a UK perspective, its content about services and supports has much relevance to GPs in Ireland. This booklet titled: Dementia: The view from Primary Care, and published by the NHS describes itself as a toolbox for GPs and practice nurses. The reference guide provides an excellent overview and guidance for Irish GPs and covers many different topics from diagnosis to life after this. This new ICGP publication has been written by Dr Tony Foley and Professor Greg Swanwick and is titled: Dementia: Diagnosis and Management in General Practice.

The forthcoming Irish National Dementia Strategy has identified “timely diagnosis” of dementia as a key priority in terms of policy reform and service planning. GPs play a key role in the assessment, diagnosis and disclosure of dementia, since they are usually the health service professional the individual or family member first gets in contact with, when initially concerned about memory and cognitive problems.
