Also speaking will be Tara Slater, Manager of the Dementia Adviser Service at Alzheimer’s Support Wiltshire. The Talk will be held at 7.30pm in Purton Surgery where space is limited so tickets (free) are needed, these are available from Reception in both Purton Surgery and Green Gable Surgery from Monday 10 March. There will be a collection afterwards for Alzheimer’s Support Wiltshire.
