Who We Are

• The Kingston Dementia Support Service is a follow up and review service for people living in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, registered with a Kingston GP practice who have been diagnosed with dementia

• We are based at Sunray Surgery in Tolworth

• Clinics run every Thursday

​

What we offer

• Follow-up reviews for people with dementia

• Provide information about dementia

• If needed, provide changes to their dementia and mood medication

• Provide support to family and carers of people with dementia

• Provide advice on services available to support the person with dementia and their family / carers

• Link in with the Alzheimer's Society, who are also based at the service, to provide extra support

​

How to get referred

• A lot of patients are referred directly by Tolworth Hospital after a diagnosis has been made by the memory clinic

• If for some reason a referral hasn’t been made, or a diagnosis of dementia was made elsewhere (for example, privately), then please ask your GP to refer you to the Kingston Dementia Support Service.  This can be done by sending a letter to our email address below.
