Do you have experience of dementia support in Neath Port Talbot?

Do you have experience of dementia support in Neath Port Talbot? NPT would like to hear from you. (See below)

The Dementia Support Review is looking at how dementia support works for people locally and what could be improved.

Your experience matters. Information about services tells us part of the story, but hearing from people with lived experience, families and carers helps us understand what support is actually like in everyday life.

We particularly want to understand: 

  • what has worked well or been helpful 
  • what has been difficult, missing or hard to access 
  • how different services or parts of the dementia journey have worked together 
  • what has mattered most to you and your family 
  • what you think could make dementia support better in the future 

Our preferred approach is a conversation. 

To arrange a conversation, please contact Kate Hearnden at k.hearnden@npt.gov.uk. Or call us on 07483448041 

Prefer to respond in writing?

We understand that not everyone will want to have a conversation. You can choose to provide an anonymous written response instead. 

There are no set questions. Simply tell us about your experience in your own words. If helpful, you can use the same themes above to guide what you write, but you do not need to cover them all.

There are three ways you can take part: 

  • Complete our online anonymous form. 
  • Write to: FAO Kate Hearnden, Port Talbot Civic Centre, Port Talbot, SA13 1PJ. 
  • Contact Kate Hearnden at k.hearnden@npt.gov.uk or on 07483 448041 to request a paper form and pre-paid return envelope.

Every experience helps us build a fuller picture of dementia support in Neath Port Talbot.
