Description

The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.
They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia.

 

  1. Who do we screen, at what age and how often do you repeat these tests?
  2. Patients with total global amnesia, are they at higher risk
  3. Menopausal women with persistent brain fog – are they at higher risk?
  4. How do we differentiate between normal age memory decline vs dementia?
  5. Women being at higher risk – is it because of their longevity?
  6. What’s the purpose of developing tools and how sensitive are they?
  7. Genetic testing – for whom and the cost?
  8. Whom to refer which patients too?
  9. Is diet a factor? What to do for vegans who don’t eat fish? What is safe drinking?
  10. Is Souvenaid affective?
  11. What does Dementia Australia do? Do they help families and patients with NDIS applications?
  12. What other resources and tools are available, in English and other languages?
  13. Where do you see GPs needing more help in becoming more confident in managing patients with dementia and how can they gain more skill and knowledge to help patients in a timely manner and not clog up the currently strained system with less appropriate referrals
