Dementia Awareness – Patient Coffee Afternoon Success
We were delighted to host our Dementia Awareness Patient Coffee Afternoon, which proved to be a warm, engaging, and informative event for everyone who attended.
The session brought together patients and family members, creating a welcoming space for conversation, support, and learning. We are grateful to the two community organisations who joined us:
- Clarie, Haringey Dementia Co‑ordinator
- Peter and a colleague from Carers First
Both groups spoke with attendees, shared valuable advice, and distributed helpful leaflets and information about local dementia support. Their contribution was greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, Evleen from the Hill‑Dene Memory Café was unable to attend due to illness, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
Engagement & Feedback
A number of feedback forms were completed by patients, family members, and Carers First. Some individuals were understandably unable to complete forms due to dementia.
(A summary of the feedback will be added once ready.)
Health Support Provided
- Blood pressure checks were carried out during the event.
- Several patients were booked for blood test appointments.
- One patient received their blood test results on the day.
All attendees also received a leaflet detailing all Dementia Services available in Haringey, ensuring continued access to local support.
Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to Felicita and Louise for their hard work and support in making this event a success. Their contributions helped ensure a smooth, meaningful experience for all involved.
