On 8 May, a German-language manual to help assess capacity of people with dementia to give consent was published by Kohlhammer Verlag. The manual, written by researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum provides practice-oriented advice to help carers, supporters and healthcare professionals to support people with dementia to make therapy decisions and assess their ability to consent. The manual accompanies the guideline "Consent of people with dementia to medical measures" and makes the recommendations from the guideline applicable to practice. For the first time, the internationally recognised instruments for assessing the ability to give consent, MacCAT-T and MacCAT-CR, are also included in a complete German translation.
