Dementia Friendly GP Practices

It’s important that people with dementia can visit their GP and get the care and support they need.

GPs are key to providing a diagnosis, information, support, planning and ongoing management and review for people with dementia and their carers.

Alzheimer’s Society is supporting GPs across Essex to work to become a dementia friendly practice and Abridge Surgery have pledged to support people affected by dementia with:

  • Increasing dementia awareness and understanding for all practice staff
  • Making appointments and using the GP telephone systems and website
  • Navigating the physical environment of the practice with dementia friendly signage and clear, uncluttered surgeries
  • Having systems in place to help to remember to attend appointments
  • Understanding the individual needs of people affected by dementia, to enable them to express their concerns with the GP
  • Working with patients and their carers to recall details of discussions regarding their care

By raising awareness of dementia within your practice, Abridge Surgery will minimise these difficulties, providing the best possible service to their patients

If you need extra support, please contact Alzheimer’s Society’s Support Service on:

0333 150 3456

  • Thursday to Friday: 9.00am to 5.00pm
