Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses hold free 45-minute clinics at Nationwide on New Broadway, Ealing, on 24, 25 and 26 November. You do not need to be a customer.

Specialist dementia nurses are holding free one-to-one clinics in Ealing town centre on Tuesday 24, Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 November.

The clinics are run by the charity Dementia UK at Nationwide’s branch at 9 New Broadway, W5 5AW. The charity’s booking page listed the Ealing dates when it was updated on 4 November.

Who they are for

The clinics are for anyone affected by dementia, whether you have the condition or care for someone who does. You do not need to bank with Nationwide. You can bring the person you care for, a friend or a family member.

Each appointment lasts about 45 minutes with an Admiral Nurse, a nurse who specialises in dementia. Dementia UK says they can help with:

  • worries about memory problems and how to get a diagnosis
  • understanding a diagnosis and how the condition progresses
  • practical tips for caring at home, and coping with changes in behaviour
  • money and legal questions
  • moving into residential care
  • emotional support, including bereavement and loss

Appointments are free and confidential, and must be booked in advance. The charity only posts clinic dates about a month ahead.
