| Study objectives | The project aims to investigate the effectiveness of different educational interventions in enabling primary care practitioners to respond to the needs of older people with dementia and their families. There are three study hypotheses: 1. Practitioners in practices which receive an educational intervention will demonstrate an increase in knowledge about recommended practice regarding the diagnosis and management of dementia compared to those who receive no such education 2. Medical records of people with a diagnosis of dementia in practices which receive an educational intervention will have a greater increase in concordance with North of England Evidence Based Guidelines on The Primary Care Management of Dementia compared to those who receive no such intervention 3. Families attending practices which receive an educational intervention will fare better on a range of outcomes including knowledge of dementia, knowledge and use of support services, satisfaction and stress |
