This chapter covers a selection of tools and resources for dementia diagnosis and management in primary care based on the experience of a community-based dementia early detection service, for use by trained allied health and social care professionals and primary care physicians to promote communication across disciplines. Considering the large and growing number of validated tools available for outcome assessment and detection of dementia, our goal here is to share useful materials for quick reference rather than a comprehensive summary of available tools and resources. Readers will find in this chapter a sample form to facilitate history-taking, with an explanation of the needed information and recommended use of the General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG); a quick overview of the clinical features suggestive of non-Alzheimer’s disease; a checklist for physical examination and investigation; a sample cognitive and functioning report of an early intervention service with an explanation of the important information to include; common spontaneously reported symptoms in an early intervention service; and lists of useful resources, infographics, and educational material for explaining dementia diagnosis and management.
