Our centres are designed to be dementia friendly, ensuring that patients can easily find their way around, and that our environment supports their wellbeing and independence.

People suffering from dementia can have difficulty processing what they see in unfamiliar surroundings so we ensure a patient-centred care approach alongside:

- Flexible range of appointment times to suit
- Chaperones and support for patients
- Clear signage at access and way finding pathways
- Use natural lighting as much as possible
- Artwork and plants throughout to create a warm, comforting environment
- Bathroom facilities, with clearly labelled taps
- Choice and range of seating available
- Quiet areas for changing and conversations
- Hot drinks and water available.

Dementia is a fast-growing global health challenge, with nearly 10 million new cases annually. Our increasingly ageing populations and greater life expectancy is resulting in a higher prevalence of dementia that is becoming more and more significant.

Dementia is a complex illness that requires expert, early diagnosis to improve patient outcomes and treatment options, which is why our skilled teams are proud to offer a specialist dementia friendly PET-CT service.

Additionally, we work alongside research organisations to support dementia studies, centred on greater prevention, innovative treatment options and new tracer development.
