✦ Synopsis

out the illness, for example, combined packages of counselling, carer training and respite care. In parallel, priority should also be given to learning about the impact of interventions, such as counselling, memory training and drug treatments for people with dementia. To focus on one without the other will only provide a partial answer to how care at home might best be sustained. Research evidence on the eectiveness of formal services is absolutely vital in our battle to convince policy makers that allocating scarce resources for the development of comprehensive dementia care services is worth while. Consumer based organisations in the dementia ®eld, such as Alzheimer ScotlandÐAction on Dementia, are well placed to work in partnership with researchers to both develop research programmes and diuse ®ndings to key agencies and individuals able to in¯uence change.
