Specialist dementia support coming to Newport high street
Dementia UK's Admiral Nurse clinics will return to Wales this summer, offering free face-to-face support at selected Nationwide branches, including Newport, in a familiar and private setting. The clinics, delivered by Dementia UK's specialist Admiral Nurses, are open to anyone affected by dementia and provide practical and emotional guidance on everything from memory concerns and diagnosis to financial planning and legal matters. Ruby Guild, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said: "We're looking forward to returning to Wales. "Nationwide branches offer a safe and private space for people to access specialist support for dementia, and the Fairer Futures partnership is helping us bring face-to-face support to people in a familiar location." Nationwide's Newport branch, located at 33/34 Commercial Street, will host the clinics on July 1, 2, and 3. Appointments can be booked through Dementia UK's website. Debbie Crosbie, chief executive officer of Nationwide, said: "Nationwide wants to help people live their best life possible, for as long as possible. "By working with Dementia UK to fund more Admiral Nurses and turning our branches into dementia clinics, we're helping to tackle the country's leading cause of death. "We believe this and Nationwide Fairer Futures will change hundreds of thousands of lives for the better." The clinics are part of Nationwide's Fairer Futures social impact programme, which focuses on four major UK issues: family poverty, youth homelessness, dementia, and cancer. Through this partnership, Nationwide is funding 30 Admiral Nurses and will have hosted dementia clinics in 200 branches by the end of the summer.
