•Participants will be eligible for randomisation if they are exhibiting responsive behaviours or are at risk of responsive behaviours and have a surrogate decision-maker available to the research team to consent on behalf of the patient. As all Participants who have dementia and are being treated in an ED are at risk of developing responsive behaviours then all Participants with dementia who present to the ED will be eligible for this study. Responsive behaviours will be assessed by a standardised checklist that has been developed from the literature specifically for this study

•Participant has a history of dementia
