Extra help: Dementia: 'This is Me' booklet

If you are accompanying a relative who has a memory problem or a diagnosis of dementia, you may be asked to complete a This is Me booklet.

This will help our staff better understand and care for your relative during their stay, and should be brought in when they are admitted for surgery.

A blue butterfly will be attached to the patient notes and ward documentation to alert hospital staff that the patient has a This is Me document.

For further information relating to dementia and health and social care fact sheets please see the Alzheimer's Society website.

If you have a disability, sensory loss, impairment, or if English is not your first language, we can help you access information about our services.

It's important for us to know when we've provided a good service or if something needs to improve.
