Our GP has not seen my husband at all. He was diagnosed in April 2015. The only contact he's had is with the hospital's dementia team, although they are efficient, the contact has been very sporadic. He gets his meds directly from the hospital, so local surgery is not involved. At no point has our surgery sought to make contact. He's visited the surgery for other matters, however, any one of the GP's we met with was not able to communicate with him properly in a supportive manner, they did not even refer to his Alzheimer's. Don't they check their patient's notes? For the first time in 5 years he has had a bad episode which scared me. He was fine Sunday, then through the night, all day Monday and Monday night he has been hallucinating, agitated and hyper active. He's not slept. Only about an hour ago, after taking him out for a walk has he fallen asleep. I called the surgery with the intention to get help, only to be told no appointments available today and to call back tomorrow! I am very disappointed, it has left me worried, anxious and scared. Calling the dementia team at the hospital refers you to a answering machine. I've left a message asking for a return call as soon as possible. I've also left a message with our Alzheimer's support contact. I'll wait to see if anyone calls this morning, if not I'll call the Alzheimer's support line.
