Description

The contract has been awarded to London Care Limited following market engagement to invite capable providers. London Care Limited has been established as the only capable provider.

NHS North West London Integrated Care Board ("NHS NW London ICB" or "ICB") required a Central London (Westminster) based provision of a Dementia Advisor (DA) to deliver post-diagnostic support, information and advice to people with a diagnosis of dementia. The main focus is supporting people with a recent diagnosis, and/or in early stages, to live well with dementia, to help them to stay independent and access services in the community. The DA also remains as point of contact for people with dementia from diagnosis through to end-of-life. The post holder provides information on local support services for the person with dementia, providing advice and signposting as and when required. Even though the main focus for the DA is the person with a diagnosis of dementia (rather than Carers), the DA closely liaises with families and friends of the person with dementia as required. The post holder also takes an active role in the delivery of Westminster Memory Café sessions, raises awareness about dementia in the community, takes an active role in the Dementia Friendly Communities initiative and builds links and relationships to enhance partnership working with other services/organisations across the dementia pathway.

The aims of the service are to offer high quality post-diagnostic support, information and advice to: Promote an understanding of dementia & manage the symptoms of dementia; Help people live more independently; Enable easy access to services, seek out the right support at the right time; Feel in control of their life and their future; Reduce isolation, rebuild their support network; Better manage their mental & physical health; and Empower people to live well with dementia.
