Active promotion of brain health is an essential part of neurological management and dementia prevention

Abstract

The importance of promoting brain health through lifestyle measures, acting early to preserve and protect brain function for as long as possible, and carefully monitoring those with decreasing function to enhance how they manage their condition and optimise care is becoming increasingly clear. The authors summarise the evidence-base and review how tailored training is helping healthcare professionals across the UK to adapt their services or modify their personal practice to facilitate this important shift in thinking.
