Focus this year is Diagnosis!

Diagnostic rates in Somerset are some of the lowest in the country.

Getting a diagnosis doesn’t have to be a scary thing, you CAN live well!

Our team will be available this week at Yeovil to give advice and signpost!

It's World Delirium Awareness Day!! Delirium is Everybody's Business.
By asking a single question in delirium, this allows us to recognise and spread awareness of delirium. Think SQiD 🦑 @iDelirium_Aware @Dementia_D_Team #WDAD2023 #deliriumiseverybodysbusiness #preventdelirium
