Summary points:
- We can promote early recognition of patients living with advanced dementia (PLAD) with integration of prognostic tools in clinical care pathways.
- Care for PLAD should be beyond the hospital into the community, harnessing available resources to support patients and caregivers alike
- Clinical care pathways for at risk PLAD encompass both basic and specialist palliative care interventions.
