National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

This NICE guideline covers diagnosing and managing dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease). It aims to improve care by making recommendations on training staff and helping carers to support people living with dementia.

This guideline makes evidence-based recommendations aiming to support the following areas of practice:

  • coordinating care and support between different services
  • what support carers need, and how this should be provided
  • staff training.

The guideline also makes recommendations on dementia diagnosis, based on a review of the latest evidence.
