Response
Firstly, this is an integrated clinical curriculum from the beginning so
everything is delivered together and many issues, such as dementia, appear
and reappear throughout the course, both deliberately and serendipitously.
I have confined my comments to those teaching sessions which are formally
defined and scheduled; please note this does not represent every
appearance of the subject as it will arise spontaneously in mental health,
care of the elderly, oncology, neurology and general practice settings
particularly.
