Becoming Dementia Friendly Skipton

Members were interested to hear Janet and Tom from the Memory Clinic at Skipton General Hospital give an overview of their work and the support they provide at the Breakfast Club this morning at Skipton Fire Station.
In addition members watched a Fire Crew prep and launch one of the Fire Tenders to an incident in double quick time- very impressive !!
Anyone interested in the Breakfast Club please leave us a message

Do you know about the Herbert Protocol ❓

According to Alzheimer's Research UK , every day in the UK, 600 people develop dementia.

Sometimes people with dementia wander off, often into the garden, but sometimes they get lost and unintentionally go missing.

When someone is reported missing to the police, we need to ask lots of questions about the person and will ask for a recent photograph.

The Herbert Protocol has been designed to speed up the process of collecting this information, keeping it in one place that is then available to pass quickly to the police if it’s needed.

Keeping a completed form means you don’t have to try to remember the information when you are under stress if someone goes missing. And it saves time, so we can start the search sooner.

The form includes things such as the person’s interests, places they like to visit and their daily routine.

The form should be stored in a safe location and only passed to the police if the person goes missing.

Why not spend some time over Christmas completing a form, or updating your existing form and photograph?

For more information please search ‘The Herbert Protocol’ on our website. 🖱
