Help us to help people with dementia

St Helens LINk is asking people to identify gaps in local services for people with dementia.

It wants to hear from members of the public and professionals about their experiences of the services which people with dementia currently use, whether in the voluntary, public or private sector. These can be assessment, treatment or care services. It also wants to hear about needs which aren’t being met by these services.

This information is being collected as a new dementia strategy has been produced nationally and each borough will need to produce its own local dementia strategy.

 If you would like to contact LINk to share your views, contact 01744 457119 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

All information will be kept confidential.
