Incredibly valuable and fits with what we see in practice. An abnormal 4AT score is not normal. I see many patients with moderate or even severe dementia with 4AT scores 1-3

I think we should stop talking about 'lifestyle factors' and change it to people who are 'impacted by commercial determinants of health'

Absolutely right. And (as Prof Scarlett McNally recently succinctly said bmj.com/content/bmj/38…) dementia prevention needs to be a pillar of the shift to prevention for the NHS- all about those "healthy lifestyles" so much easier to pursue if you aren't living in poverty.

My experience of such "Consultancies" is that they ask the staff what the issues are then write a report telling the staff what the issues are...with a large bill...

Great advance in identification of risk of adverse events such as hospital admission with a fall or fracture, needing residential or home care - allowing targeted prevention. Proactive Care just moved up a gear! Game changing work from Andrew Clegg Simon Conroy and colleagues
