Lime Grove Medical Centre has signed up to become dementia-friendly. We will be working with Alzheimer’s Society during the coming year. An assessment of how dementia-friendly we are has taken place and we have taken steps to improve areas that need attention.

We welcome any feedback about how we are doing from patients, families and carers.

We also have a dementia champion at the practice and if you would like further information please contact Helen Hunt at reception.

Here are some useful contacts and links for support or advice if you are living with dementia or caring for someone with dementia.
