Comparing knowledge and attitudes to dementia care in Brazilian and UK GPs to guide future decisions about educational interventions.

: Dementia training for Brazilian general practitioners (GPs) is underdeveloped. We investigated knowledge and attitudes to dementia management among Brazilian GPs and compared these with previous UK findings to inform future decisions about how training is structured.: A total of 115 Brazilian GPs were asked to complete a Portuguese translation of a questionnaire previously used in the UK.

Chair based exercise in community settings: a cluster randomised feasibility study.

Background: Some older people who find standard exercise programmes too strenuous may be encouraged to exercise while remaining seated - chair based exercises (CBE). We previously developed a consensus CBE programme (CCBE) following a modified Delphi process. We firstly needed to test the feasibility and acceptability of this treatment approach and explore how best to evaluate it before undertaking a definitive trial.
