Published service description
The Dementia Wellbeing Service is delivered by the Bristol Dementia Partnership which brings together Alzheimer’s Society and Devon Partnership NHS Trust. Since 1 April 2015, it has been responsible for delivering dementia services in the city. The service is commissioned by Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucs Integrated Care Board. The Dementia Wellbeing Service brings together a whole range of professionals which includes Nurses, Social Workers, Support Staff, Therapists and Medics.
We work with various partners from across Bristol, bringing them together to create personalised wellbeing plans for those who use our service. We support GPs and other health professionals and carers to support people affected by dementia.
The Dementia Wellbeing Service aims to provide support, guidance and help when, and where people want it – and in a way that suits them. When designing the new service we worked with those living with dementia, their friends, families and carers to understand what they wanted. Everyone we spoke to told us that they want services to support the person with dementia to live as well as possible, for as long as possible – which is what we are here to do.
The line is open between 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday (we are closed on weekends and bank holidays). Outside of these hours, if you need urgent support you will be directed to call NHS 111 (Option 2).
