Michelle Webb, Director of Patient Care for St Barnabas Hospice, said:

“St Barnabas is delighted to be supporting the project which is being delivered through the partnership. This collaboration will ensure that the Admiral Nursing Team are able to care for a greater number of patients and families across the county and improve the life of those living with dementia.”

Cllr Mrs Patricia Bradwell OBE, executive member for adult care at Lincolnshire County Council, said:

“We are committed to help people in Lincolnshire live well with dementia, and we are very pleased to support this collaboration.
