There are many practical measures that can be taken to support people with dementia. For example: 

• Keep a stock of up-to-date leaflets to help raise awareness and signpost to the local support available 
• Research support services and memory clinics available in your area 
• Look out for any medicines or acute or long-term conditions that may be causing symptoms that can be mistaken for dementia or worsen existing dementia 
• Ensure medicines are monitored, reviewed regularly and stopped when they are no longer required 
• Encourage the team to become Dementia Friends
• Help with medicine reminder charts and ordering medicines 
• Offer lifestyle advice 
• Ensure a person living with dementia is being reviewed appropriately by local memory services in line with local service specifications 
• Make sure medicines prescribed for dementia are monitored appropriately.
