Key messages on dementia from British Geriatrics Soc.

Key messages in brief

Brain health must be prioritised across the life course to reduce risk and promote healthy ageing

Dementia is a complex neurological condition, not a normal part of ageing

Dementia care is a shared responsibility across health and social care

Timely and accurate diagnosis must lead to action

Dementia demands through-life care which is centred around the person and the people who matter to them

Support must be available for people with cognitive concerns, with or without a formal diagnosis

Equitable opportunities for research and clinical trial participation must be expanded

A phrase from SCAS 2026 "Out-of-hospital" Cardiac Arrest Conference today hit a chord - "it takes a system to save a life" For NBCA maybe - Bystander recognises it - phones 999 - starts CPR - use AED - a closer ambulance arrives (satellite ambulance station co-located with North Berwick Fire maybe?) - professionals get them to hospital quick.

Won’t be an A&E but could be an Emergency Nurse Practitioners or Emergency Care Practitioner / Paramedic Minor Injuries Unit like MIUs in Edinburgh - at least within working hours initially. Time for discussion! Even the GP led Edington Hosp MIU , without any Xray availability, saw 1200 people per year and managed most without having to send on to Edin , after patching up, for Xray / further emergency treatment.
Advanced Nurse Practitioners / Paramedics are the future but we need more people entering university these professional areas.
