Support for Carers

Support workers work with you to identify problems related to your caring responsibilities and to find potential solution to them. they can support you to have some time of your own, separate from your caring responsibilities, if this is what you want to do.

Chaperone
What is a chaperone?
A chaperone is a trained member of the Surgery’s staff who is available to be in a consultation with you if you feel that the procedure or examination may make you feel vunerable or uncomfortable.
How do I request a chaperone?
You can request a chaperone at the time of booking the appointment. This will give us enough time to make sure that someone will be availsable at the time of your appointment. If a chaperone is not available, we can reschedule the appointment for you.
What will a chaperone do in my appointment?
Your chaperone will enter the room discreetly and remain there until the clinician has finished the examination. The chaperone will normally attend inside the curtain at the head of the examination couch and watch the procedure. To prevent embarrassment, the chaperone will not enter into conversation with yourself or the clinician unless requested to do so and will not make mention of the consultation afterwards.
Chaperone will always remain completely confidential
Dementia Support
Alzheimer’s Society’s mission is to transform the landscape of dementia forever. In their new strategy, the New Detail on Dementia, they make a commitment to be available to every person who receives a diagnosis. They want everyone affected by dementia to know that, whatever you are going through wherever you are, whoever you are, you can turn to Alzheimer’s Society for support, help and advice. Until we find a cure, Alzheimer’s Society will strive to create a society where those affected by dementia are supported, accepted and able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.

If you are suffering from dementia, or you are a carer of someone who is, you can make a self-refarral to a Dementia Support Service provided by the Alzheimer’s Society by calling 0300 1234 589
