Last updated: Thursday 17 April 2025

General introduction

Ward B12, the Forget Me Not Unit, is our specialist ward for caring for patients in hospital who are living with dementia. 

The ward is designed to provide relaxation and stimulation for patients who need expert hospital care but who also have dementia. 

The unit features a number of innovative design features including its own mock bus stop, lounge area with traditional-looking fireplace, quiet room with a 1960s-style TV and a special dementia garden area.

How to access this service

The admission criteria for the ward ensure that patients receive appropriate care in the Forget Me Not Unit. 

It is important to note that not every patient with dementia who is admitted to our hospitals is cared for on the ward. Patients may be referred to another specialist ward to treat their medical or surgical condition and to ensure they receive the appropriate level of care. 

About the team

The Forget Me Not Unit is staffed by medical and nursing staff who are experts in providing general medical care as well as caring for the specific needs of patients with dementia.

We also encourage volunteers to be 'Dementia Friends' - providing extra support and talking to our patients.
