The following is the first part of our Managing Dementia in Primary Care Training video series designed to support primary care teams in delivering the best quality care to patients with dementia and their carers.

It's part of a training package produced with the help of the Alzheimer’s Society and many others and an online version of a DVD which was distributed to all Practice Managers in Wales courtesy of the Business Service Centres (BSCs) in November 2013.

The following video is based on feedback from patients and carers as they want ALL staff to understand dementia better because ALL staff have an impact on aspects of dementia care:
