Dementia

At the practice we have Lisa Baker our Social Prescriber who provides support to patients and their families through the diagnosis of Dementia and living with the condition. Lisa is a listening ear and a helping hand to link patient’s to appropriate services, groups and professional assistance. To request support from Lisa please contact the practice.

We offer yearly checks at the practice for patient’s with Dementia and anyone who is a carer.
