Managing Dementia in Primary Care - Training Materials

Dementia is a hugely important topic for all practice staff and as our population is getting older it will become more common in our communities. 

The video elements of our Training Materials are hosted on our WaMH in PC YouTube Channel. However, some organisations - including NHS Wales - block access to YouTube on their networks and computers.

So, if you're unable to open videos on your computer, please contact NHS Wales Informatics Service (NWIS) on 08450 267 297 or at primarycare.servicedesk@wales.nhs.uk or your IT department .

You can also contact Lesley Hills at lhills@rcgp.org.uk or on 029 2050 4516 if your IT department cannot access the material.
