Charity Alzheimer’s Society is urging those with concerns about their own, or someone else’s memory to visit their GP as soon as possible, as calls to their National Dementia Helpline surge by a third after Christmas. Many of these calls coming from worried relatives, who may have seen relatives or friends for the first time in months and noticed changes in behaviour. The Alzheimer’s Society helpline number is 0300 222 1122.
