title: Spotting signs of dementia.
abstract: Care home staff are well placed to notice if an older person living in the home may be developing dementia. A tool developed for their use--DeAR GP (Dementia Assessment Referral to GP)--empowers care home staff, makes more efficient use of GPs' and specialist memory nurses' time, and improves diagnosis of dementia.
