CAMCOG, GPCOG and dementia as diagnosed by the GP audit will be presented. Typical baseline management by GPs as shown by the audits will be discussed. To date 170 GPs have agreed to participate and 1452 participants have completed the baseline measures. One-hundred-andtwenty-six participants have been identified as suffering from dementia (defined by CAMCOG score < 81). Forty-nine per cent of these cases had been detected by the GP prior to commencement of the study. Conclusions: This presentation will examine baseline data concerning dementia diagnosis and management in a group of General Practice patients.
