Book a virtual appointment with an Admiral Nurse
Talk to an Admiral Nurse at a time that works for you by video or telephone call
Book your appointmentFamilies living with dementia can access life-changing support from a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, at a dedicated time and place that suits their needs.
If you’re caring for someone living with dementia you can book an appointment with an Admiral Nurse, in confidence. Appointments are free and confidential and available between Monday to Friday, from 9am to 4pm. Admiral Nurses have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems. They can help with any questions and concerns about dementia, including:
- understanding the diagnosis, plus practical tips and advice for caring for a loved one with dementia
- transition into nursing or residential home, or stays in hospital
- understanding symptoms and changes in behaviour, and managing your own feelings
You can choose an online video appointment or a phone appointment. We are currently experiencing high levels of demand, with appointments booked one to two weeks in advance.
Professionals/booking on behalf of others
If you are a professional, family member or friend of a carer, please do not book without obtaining the carer’s permission first. Please also ensure you tell the carer the appointment time and date to avoid unexpected or unwanted calls from an Admiral Nurse and that you enter the carer’s contact details on the booking form.
It is thanks to our corporate partner, Leeds Building Society, that we were able to launch this service in June 2021 in response to Covid-19. With their support, in 2023 we are now bringing dementia care closer to home through face-to-face appointments across the UK. This service is called Closer to Home and you can access location details and face-to-face appointment bookings here.
Virtual appointments have provided Admiral Nurse support to over 3,600 families since June 2021. We will continue to expand our virtual clinics service in addition to our face to face Closer to Home service to provide even more access to everyone seeking specialist dementia support right across the UK.
