Dementia & Alzheimer's

To speak with one of our clinicians regarding dementia concerns please call our reception on 01827 713664 to arrange a routine appointment where you will be assessed, we will offer you advice, any queries you have will be answered and a correct management plan will be ensured.

Dementia is not a single illness, but a group of symptoms caused by damage to the brain.

You should look out for:

  • Memory loss, such as remembering past events much more easily than recent ones
  • Problems thinking or reasoning, or finding it hard to follow conversations or TV programmes
  • Feeling anxious, depressed or angry about memory loss, or feeling confused, even when in a familiar environment

If you’re worried about your memory, it’s well worth talking to a clinician. They may be able to reassure you that you don’t have dementia. However, if you do have dementia, an early diagnosis may help you get the right treatment and support in place in good time. Finding out sooner rather than later can also give friends and family valuable time to adjust and prepare for the future.

For more information about dementia and the services on offer to help with the treatment and support available for this disease please take a look at some of the links below.
