We were delighted to welcome not 1 but 3 Medical professionals to our Memory Steps Course on Friday 17th January.
Dr Suhail Hussain, Private GP talked us through the different types of dementia’s and also provided us with a dementia Q&A session.
Kirsten Glen, Dementia Admiral Nurse from Carers in Hertfordshire and Dementia UK explained the services that both organisations provide and the important role of an Admiral Nurse specifically for carers.
Dr Katherine Witter, Psychiatrist from Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust gave us an in-depth talk about dementia support from the Early Memory Diagnosis and Support Service (EMDASS.) Plus a vital Q&A session on key topics such as medication and driving.
A huge thank you to all 3 Medical Professionals for spending the whole morning not only speaking to our 25 carers and those recently diagnosed but also offering 1-1 support.
