Clinical Practice Guidelines for Dementia in Australia: A step towards improving uptake of research findings in health‐ and aged‐care settings

Clinical audits demonstrate that there are gaps between research evidence and what occurs in current clinical practice for people with dementia. Studies conducted in Australia suggest that healthand aged-care professionals do not receive sufficient training in dementia care [1], few people with dementia have advance care plans [2], and the number of people in residential aged-care facilities prescribed antipsychotics is high [3]. The lack of access to specialist services in rural and remote areas of Australia creates further challenges in delivering consistent evidencebased care for people with dementia [4]. Communitydwelling people with dementia also report substantial unmet needs, with one study conducted in the United States finding approximately half of those surveyed reported the need for home safety evaluation, general health and medical care, meaningful activities, and advance care planning [5]. Most carers surveyed reported that they needed more education about dementia [6]. These evidence practice gaps demonstrate opportunities to improve the quality and safety of healthand aged-care services for people with dementia and their carers in Australia.
