ABSTRACT
Treating and caring for people with dementia is a complex task, which can be achieved through cooperation between primary and specialist healthcare, social care and specialist care services. General practitioners are key players in the prevention, screening, treatment and care of dementia. Our aim was to present the general practitioner's aspects of modern dementia care through different levels of prevention. Educating patients to lead a healthy lifestyle and optimising their cardiovascular status reduces the risk of developing dementia. Emphasis was placed on early screening and referral to a specialist, and the importance of timely, individualised therapy for modern care. General practitioner's care of patients with dementia includes monitoring the progression of the disease as well as co-morbidities so that the quality of life of both the patients and their family can be improved by reducing complications. Family doctors also have an important role to support family members who care for the patient. In addition to presenting the current possibilities in Hungary, we reviewed the international literature and national guidelines, which must be followed continuously to ensure quality patient care.
