One chapter in the guideline covers the management of dementia (Chapter 4). Management of cognitive impairment in primary care setting requires a multi-disciplinary team approach to achieve the goals on improving quality of life, maximising functional performance, and addressing mood and behaviour of the older person. The algorithm for management of cognitive impairment in older people in primary care setting can be found at page 22 of the guideline (Department of Health, 2017b, p.22)
