Specialist dementia advice and support will be available free of charge on Oxfordshire high streets during November, with Admiral Nurse clinics hosted by Nationwide Building Society.
Sessions are scheduled for branches in Banbury, Bicester and Oxford, providing face-to-face assistance for people affected by dementia.
Each clinic offers a confidential setting where concerns about diagnosis, symptoms and continuing care can be discussed with specialist support.
Lesley Potter, an Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said the organisation was looking forward to returning to Oxfordshire to assist families affected by the condition.
She also said the partnership with Nationwide had enabled specialist dementia services to reach local communities.
According to Potter, the clinics allow visitors to seek guidance from an Admiral Nurse on subjects ranging from diagnosis to practical support, with the aim of helping people avoid experiencing dementia in isolation.
Dementia UK has also issued guidance for carers that covers follow-up medical appointments, medication management, early care planning and access to financial and emotional support.
The charity said nearly one million people in the UK were living with dementia.
The Oxfordshire clinics form part of Nationwide’s Fairer Futures social impact strategy, which works on significant health and social issues through partnerships with charities.
Charlotte Kensett, Nationwide’s director of customer experience and social impact, said dementia affected millions of families.
She said the partnership with Dementia UK had brought support to 250 branches and assisted more than 55,000 people.
As a mutual, Nationwide believes it has a responsibility to strengthen the communities it serves and support people experiencing hardship, she added.
Kensett said the Fairer Futures strategy was intended to improve hundreds of thousands of lives.
Nationwide is funding 30 Admiral Nurses and hosting clinics in more than 230 branches across the country.
Twelve Virgin Money branches in northern England and Scotland are also due to join the programme.
The November clinics will take place at Nationwide’s Banbury branch at 18/19 Market Place on November 3; its Bicester branch at 33 Market Square on November 4, with afternoon appointments only; and its Oxford branch at 44 Queen Street on November 5.
Dementia UK is a specialist nursing charity that supports families affected by dementia.
Its Admiral Nurses provide free expert advice through a helpline, clinics and community services.
Appointments for the clinics are available through the Dementia UK website.
