Dementia specialist Admiral Nurses will host clinics at Nationwide branches in Lincoln, Grantham and Grimsby to offer tailored support and guidance to anyone affected by the condition

 

Nationwide and Dementia UK’s free face-to-face clinics are returning to Nationwide branches in Lincolnshire, offering specialist support in a safe, comfortable and private space for people to discuss any aspect of dementia.

Hosted by Dementia UK’s Admiral Nurses, the clinics are open to anyone impacted by dementia, offering life-changing support to families and individuals in the area. The clinics will take place over the next month, and appointments can be booked via Dementia UK’s website here.

The clinics will offer practical and emotional advice on all aspects of dementia – from worries about memory problems, understanding a diagnosis and how the condition can progress to help with financial and legal issues.

Ahead of the appointments, Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, has shared tips on how to discuss dementia with a loved one and encourage them to visit their GP if they are showing signs or symptoms of the condition. Someone develops dementia every three minutes in the UK, and it is often a challenge to obtain an accurate diagnosis of dementia.

 

Tackling tough conversations – tips on speaking to someone who is showing signs of dementia from Admiral Nurses:

 

The Lincolnshire clinics are part of Nationwide’s social impact programme, Fairer Futures, which addresses four of the UK’s biggest social issues through charity partnerships – family poverty (Action for Children), youth homelessness (Centrepoint), dementia (Dementia UK) and cancer (The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity). Nationwide is funding 30 dementia specialist Admiral Nurses and will have hosted free dementia support clinics in 200 branches across the country by the end of the summer.

 

To book a confidential and in-person appointment with an Admiral Nurse in Lincolnshire, visit Dementia UK’s website here. The clinics will visit:

 

Ruby Guild, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said:

“We’re looking forward to returning to Lincolnshire. Nationwide branches offer a safe and private space for people to access specialist support for dementia, and the Fairer Futures partnership is helping us bring face-to-face support to people in a familiar location.”

 

Debbie Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of Nationwide, said: 

“Nationwide wants to help people live their best life possible, for as long as possible. By working with Dementia UK to fund more Admiral Nurses and turning our branches into dementia clinics, we’re helping to tackle the country’s leading cause of death. As a mutual, we work for the good of society as well as our members.  We believe this and Nationwide Fairer Futures will change hundreds of thousands of lives for the better.”
