Dementia Friendly North Sheffield

Dementia Friendly North East Sheffield is a group of people from the community and local organisations who are coming together to make our area more dementia friendly. We have monthly meetings and are currently working towards our current action plan:

Fire & Police

• We have chosen this area as people in the area have asked for more information on services provided by emergency services.

• We will:

• Invite emergency services to attend our memory cafes and our Dementia Friendly North East Sheffield meetings

• Share information on services, and raise awareness of tools such as the Herbert Protocol

• Build up referral pathways with emergency services

• Raise awareness of training in the area

​

Health & Social Care

• We have chosen this area because we want to develop the relationship between voluntary sector organisations and the health and social care sector, and build more lines of communication between people with dementia and their carers, and health and social care services.

• We will:

• Invite more partners to join our meetings (such as more care homes, the memory service and GP practices)

• Improve ways to feedback to statutory services and care companies

• Raise awareness of training in the area

• Run a joint community event

• Build relationships between community groups and care homes
