Working in partnership

We work with health and social care professionals across Wiltshire to deliver high-quality dementia support.

Each of our dementia advisers is linked to a regional group of GP surgeries, many they are embedded in their local communities.  We welcome direct referrals from GPs and surgery staff for people newly diagnosed with dementia.

We play an active role in Wiltshire’s Dementia Strategy, sitting on dementia delivery teams at acute hospitals and working in partnership across the county, and the wider south-west.

Our dementia advisers connect clients with a wide range of local services, from occupational therapy and mental health support to chiropody, diet, and nutrition advice. If you work in any of these areas and would like to collaborate, please contact our Dementia Adviser Manager.

We also work closely with Age UK Wiltshire and other partners to support unpaid carers; from carrying out carers assessments to signposting local services. We maintain a database of carer support organisations in our online The Support Village. If you would like to be included, please get in touch with our Carer Co-ordinator.

In addition, we provide tailored training for dementia care professionals, carer organisations, voluntary groups, and health and social care teams.
