We are working hard to support people affected by #dementia across the North West, so #proud to be a Dementia Adviser for @alzheimerssoc @AlzSocNWEngland ❤️
@hannahPUNC18 Try involving the patient in their comments - e.g. "oh colleague you have 3 boys? Mrs X, how many children do you have?" That way it shows your colleague how you want to communicate with patients and teaches them how to. They may not know how to start that conversation :)
Dementia may affect a person in different ways. It might change how they act, how they communicate and how they feel. But thank you to Anne for the important reminder that dementia doesn't stop that person from being an individual and someone who deserves to be listened to.
Supporting those who are not able to get out or have no access to help - our Support at Home service is available giving you assistance with shopping, cleaning and prescription collecting. Get in touch on 0300 303 1234 or read more about the service here https://t.co/nhPrGq8hqx

Dr Peter Gregory, GP and Clinical Commissioning Group Chair, shares an important message of reassurance that GPs are still working and ready to see you if you have a health concern.
Think of the Elderly, long term ill and people with Dementia. 'Isolation,' is not new to these people and their Carers. Socially and Financially. They live in this permanent state, with respites from the likes of AgeUk, Alzsoc, Homeinstead and the such.
Free services to older adults in #Lancashire please refer anyone who would benefit, they don’t need to go out, we’ll do that for them!
Lots of other #COVID19 support available from our experienced staff teams
