The document discusses the Dementia Roadmap, an online resource created by the Royal College of General Practitioners and Department of Health to help primary care providers support people with dementia. It provides a structured guide to the dementia journey, signs to existing high-quality information sources, and can be customized with local information. Analytics show it is well-used and valued by visitors for understanding dementia and local services. Local organizations can set up their own customized Roadmap by contributing local group and resource information.
