admiral nurse/ACTION ON ALZHEIMERS DRUGS CAMPAIGN

[Eva Rebecca]

The following site has a down loadable copy of the Royal College of Psychiatrists response to the NICE recommendations to withdraw NHS Funding for dementia drugs. Its a good site with open courses but looks like it is just getting off the ground. It also has a downloadable letter to your MP with a section for a carer to add a name or a memory of someone special. The letter requests the MP to respond and to give attention to the alzheimers drugs problem and to say how he would like to help the "hands off dementia drugs "campaign which is being run by the Alzheimer disease society.

Thanks Rosemary.
Thought it might be a bit old hat. The ban dos,nt come in until the 14th of this month so people can still ask for a prescription for one more week ........ no time is it.
Have had my head down for a bit but was glad that i found it . i couldnt think of the name of the sight or the nursey one as have been so tired of late.


My dad is a bit better new drug for prostatism working at last and he is sleeping through the night as he doesnt nedd to get up to the loo. And they said his alzheimers was deteriorating......... a good nights sleep does you the power of good.
