THE BECTON CENTRE
The Becton Centre is now fully operational in all planned areas and is part
of the overall strategy to improve mental health services across the New Forest.
It will give patients suffering from dementia and associated disorders from the
South Western part of the New Forest a local integrated unit for their care and
treatment. Prior to this service being available, elderly patients and their families had to travel to the Old Manor Hospital in Salisbury for inpatient beds. The day hospital was served by the Old Manor and Lymington and the community base was in Ringwood. The move to provide all three of these elements in one unit has been well received by patients and local charities, and both groups are looking forward to the benefits this will bring to patients and their families and friends. The Centre is also a Self Referral Memory Clinic, sponsored by
the Salisbury Health Care Trust. It is situated off Becton Lane in The
Fairway at Barton-on-Sea. It is run by nurses and is aimed at people of 60
years of age who feel they have a memory problem. They are very common in
later life and can be due to a variety of causes such as physical illness,
stress, depression, normal ageing, or less commonly, disorders such as
Alzheimer's disease. Telephone 01425 623802 for an appointment. Clinics will be held on Thursdays.
