Hospital care
Our local hospitals have schemes in place that offer support for people with dementia, during their stay in hospital. These include:
- the Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust
- the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust
- advice about going into hospital from the Alzheimer's Society
- The British Red Cross - helps people to stay independent and offers support after discharge from hospital and borrow a wheelchair service
- advice about preparing for hospital discharge from Carers UK
- advice about planning to leave hospital on GOV.UK
- information about support at home to prevent an unnecessary hospital admission or after a hospital stay
GP care
NHS Frimley is the statutory NHS organisation responsible for planning and delivering health and care services. All GP Practices in Bracknell Forest have signed up to our local Dementia Action Alliance and have received Dementia Friends Awareness sessions.
