Free specialist dementia support is coming to Oxfordshire high streets in November. Dementia UK's Admiral Nurse clinics will operate at Nationwide Building Society branches in Banbury, Bicester and Oxford, offering face-to-face advice to anyone affected by dementia. The clinics provide confidential spaces to discuss diagnosis, symptoms and ongoing care.
Lesley Potter, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said the clinics give people 'the chance to speak to an Admiral Nurse about any aspect of dementia, from understanding a diagnosis to finding practical support in a safe and accessible place'. Dementia UK has also shared advice for carers, including the importance of follow-up appointments, medication management, early care planning, and accessing financial and emotional support.
The clinics are part of Nationwide's Fairer Futures social impact strategy. Charlotte Kensett, director of customer experience and social impact for Nationwide, said the partnership has 'brought life-changing support into 250 of our branches and helped more than 55,000 people'. Nearly one million people in the UK are currently living with dementia.
