Types of dementia
Getting a diagnosis of the specific type of dementia you have will mean you can get the right support to help you live better with the condition.

If you care for someone with dementia or are living with the diagnosis yourself, you can book an appointment with a specialist dementia nurse in our virtual clinics.
Appointments are free, confidential, and available Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, and on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings from 5pm to 7pm. Each appointment lasts 45 minutes and can take place by phone or video call, to suit you. Evening appointments are only bookable as online appointments. Please add a note when booking if you would prefer a phone appointment instead.
As experts in dementia, our nurses offer life-changing advice and support with all aspects of dementia, including:
- understanding the diagnosis
- practical tips for caring for a loved one with dementia
- understanding symptoms and changes in behaviour
- advice on stays in hospital and transition into a nursing or residential home
- emotional support for you
We often experience high levels of demand, with appointments booked two to three weeks in advance.

If you are a professional, family member or friend of a carer, please do not book an appointment without obtaining their permission first. You will need to enter the carer’s contact details on the booking form. Please also ensure that you ask them whether they would prefer an appointment by phone or video call, and tell them the appointment time and date to avoid unexpected or unwanted calls from a specialist dementia nurse.
