The WHO's updated 2026 guidelines reinforce an important message: while dementia cannot yet be cured, many of its risk factors are modifiable.
Up to 45% of dementia cases may be delayed or prevented through healthy lifestyle choices, effective chronic disease management and reducing environmental risk factors.
For GPs, this represents another opportunity to frame preventive healthcare not only as protecting the heart and metabolic health, but also as protecting the brain. Every discussion about exercise, smoking cessation, blood pressure, diabetes management or social connection may also be a conversation about reducing a patient's future risk of dementia.
Whilst many allergies are mild, a severe allergy can turn into an anaphylactic reaction which is lire-threatening and requires immediate treatment.
Anyone with a history of an anaphylactic allergy should always carry adrenaline which can be given as an injection (EpiPen) or intranasally (Neffy). These are easy, safe and lifesaving treatments.
