A case-based approach to dementia care, especially one which is so thoroughly grounded in an up-to-date evidence base, is a perfect way for primary care professionals to enhance both their knowledge and skills in this complex area. Reviewing patient cases is a core learning technique for GPs and other primary care team members; the detailed approach presented in this book, in a wide variety of scenarios, offers both a learning from recent research and also practical tips from decades of experience in delivering early-interventions services in post-diagnostic dementia care. I hope this book will be of great use to primary care teams, wherever in the world they are working, in providing better-quality care to their patients living with dementia.

This is a book for all who care about people whose lives have been distorted by dementia. The book, based on 99 real case studies of people seeking help for suspected dementia, distinguished itself from others on similar topics in that the authors, being geriatric specialists, psychologists and occupational therapists themselves, show how to put together their efforts in providing those suspected of having dementia with early identification and subsequent management strategies, especially primary care. Though the 99 cases examined in the book all came from Hong Kong, it is, however, a work of reference value internationally. The book has my endorsement as it is one which adds to our knowledge about dementia, guides our strategies to provide help, and, most important of all, lightens up our hearts to care.
