Dementia Action Week

We are hosting events as part of Dementia Action Week ( 20 – 26 May)  – a week that unites individuals, workplaces and communities to take action and improve the lives of people living with dementia.


Memory Clinic

Tuesday 21 May, 10am-3pm

Display about how reminiscence, talking about the past can help people start and have a conversation with a person with dementia.

We will have a range of reminiscence materials for the general public to have a look at to provide ideas about how to get a conversation started.

Noirin Smith will also have a stand about the new Hartley Hospital.

In keeping with the theme of talking about the past we will also be asking members of the public to share their memories of Southport General Infirmary that used to be on the site of the new hospital.

Alzheimer’s Society will also be here with information on where to source help & support.
