Windows of opportunity: prevention and early intervention in dementia
A tool for commissioners and providers
Early intervention is often seen as anticipatory information and support delivered at the earliest stage of dementia, following diagnosis. Prevention encompasses the range of interventions that prevent an increase in need that may tip an individual into a higher or more intensive level of service. This SCIE resource explains this further and offers a greater understanding of the journey through dementia.
