Dementia awareness among dentistry is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, we as a surgery have decided to take the necessary steps to work towards being a dementia friendly practice.

We are doing this by:

Joining the Alzheimers Societies Dementia Awareness programme - Meaning we are Dementia Friends
We have conducted an audit to look for any shortcomings in the way we run our practice
We have an action plan to move foward
We are looking into joining Worthings Dementia Action Alliance
We have had recent training in how dementia affects people
We will continue to update on how we have improved our practice to aid people with dementia and their carers/family members feel more comfortable while they are with us.
