Primarily, the aim of the clinic is to provide an opportunity for carers and people with dementia to communicate directly and easily with our panel of Clinical Experts, including Ian Weatherhead, Lead Nurse, Admiral Nursing DIRECT .
Experts will be available online to answer your specific questions on issues surrounding dementia such as diagnosis, care concerns and treatment, and to provide you with valuable help and guidance.
