Together we are help & hope for everyone living with dementia
Alzheimer's Society
Your patients and their families don’t have to face dementia alone.
At Alzheimer’s Society we’re here for everyone who needs support whether they’re worried about dementia, have received a diagnosis or are caring for someone close to them. And we’re also here for you – dedicated health care professionals who need expert advice so you can support your patients in the best way possible.
It’s better to get a diagnosis
We know getting a diagnosis of dementia can be daunting, but 91% of people living with dementia believe it’s better to get one. Diagnosis means families can avoid crisis point, plan for the future and get medication to help manage symptoms. The biggest barrier stopping people seeking a diagnosis is thinking memory loss is a normal sign of ageing. And that’s one of the reasons why tens of thousands of people are facing the realities of dementia alone. With your help, we want to change that.
Your patients need help and hope today
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re here to listen, offer practical advice and emotional support, and connect people in a similar situation. Our dementia advisers are just a phone call away, and available seven days a week. We also provide face to face support and have a wealth of online information and guidance at alzheimers.org.uk including our online community which offers invaluable support.
Symptoms checklist
Help patients to explain their symptoms by using our symptoms checklist, accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners and available at alzheimers.org.uk/memoryloss. We have a wealth of information about dementia for you and your patients. Visit alzheimers.org.uk or call 0333 150 3456 today.
