[The practice staff in primary care dementia recognition-is there an untapped potential?]

CONCLUSION: The analysis showed that many GPs are not yet aware of the opportunities offered by a greater involvement of practice personnel in the recognition of dementia. Accordingly, GPs should be advised of the benefits of such a solution. At the same time, more attention should be paid to low-threshold training formats, which are tailored specifically to the perspective of practice employees and convey important dementia-specific diagnostics, action and communication skills.
