Do you know the early signs of dementia?

In the beginning, dementia symptoms can be subtle, easy to miss, and sometimes hard to distinguish from normal age-related changes or other conditions. Because of this, many people don’t feel concerned enough to see their GP.

But if you notice any changes, it’s important to pay attention.

It might not be dementia - but if it is, catching it early can make a real difference. Early diagnosis opens the door to the right care, treatment, and support.

If you recognise any of these common dementia symptoms in yourself or someone you care about, download our symptoms checklist and make an appointment with your GP.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — will be in touch when your child is due.
