Recognise that dementia training is delivered variably in hospitals and in other care settings, particularly primary care and social care. Importance of collaboration and sharing of best practice, e.g. joint work with NAPC, Alzheimer’s Society. There are large numbers of education resources available currently. There is great interest in dementia training and willingness to collaborate.
