Trinity & Bowthorpe Medical Practice has registered to be recognised “dementia friendly”. We will be working with Alzheimer’s Society during the coming year and our staff will be participating in GP specific dementia awareness sessions. We will also be carrying out an assessment of how dementia-friendly we are and take steps to improve areas that need attention. We welcome any feedback about how we are doing from patients, families and carers.
For more information, support or advice if you are living with dementia, or caring for someone with dementia, you can visit Alzheimer’s Society website:

- Staff are in the process of becoming recognised dementia friends
- Named dementia champion
- Offering longer appointments for those that need it
- Regular reviews that ensure continuity with the same healthcare professional as far as possible
- Dementia friendly signs throughout the practice
