Resources for clinicians

The Young Dementia Network has created a range of young onset dementia resources for clinicians

Guide for GPs

Endorsed by the Royal College of GPs, this decision making guide is designed to support GPs to identify the most common signs and symptoms of young onset and rarer forms of dementia.

GP surgery leaflet

A leaflet suitable for use in GP surgery waiting rooms, designed to raise awareness and share organisations that can offer support and information about young onset dementia.

Diagnostic clinic leaflet

A leaflet, ideal for use in memory clinics and diagnostic services, to inform newly diagnosed people of the national organisations who may be able to offer support and information.

Personal checklist

For anyone who has concerns about signs and symptoms of young onset dementia. A checklist which can be used to record symptoms a person may be experiencing and aid a discussion with a GP.

Young onset dementia ID cards

ID cards designed for a person living with young onset dementia and their family members and supporters to use when out and about.

Young onset dementia pathway

The pathway brings together the experience of people affected by young onset dementia and the people who work with and support them in a set of recommendations which are designed to guide policy makers, commissioners and practitioners in designing and delivering services.

Good practice guide

Shares the key findings and recommendations from the three-year long Angela Project research study, outlining good practice in young onset dementia and how to improve diagnosis and support for younger people with dementia.

Supporting implementation of the NICE guideline for young onset dementia

Designed to support implementation of the NICE dementia guideline, this resource sets out the tailored approach needed for younger people with dementia at key stages of diagnosis and support.

Diagnosis experience checklists

For use by people who may have young onset dementia and their family members and professionals, they set out the experience a person should expect during the process of assessment and diagnosis.
