Professional Practice
A diagnosis of dementia almost inevitably moves a person into the medical and health care domain at some point and the person will certainly deal with many professionals on their journey. An increasing body of work exploring many different aspects of professional practice has emerged in recent years. There is considerable cross over between this area of the review and the sections on assessment and diagnosis, the acute environment, long term care and palliative/end of life care, so it would be advisable to also consider papers in these sections.
