I have recently added the Google Translate button to our website. Click here for our home page.   When you click on the link a pop up opens which will convert the page to one of 90 languages! I have only added the pop up to the main pages on the website but when you click on the link all of that page is translated in the language of your choice, apart from any text which is on the website as pictures. We have also converted our practice leaflet into Polish - click here for the link. Of course the translation is only as good as the software so if you come across anything which doesn't make sense, especially in our Polish practice leaflet, then please click here to email me.

Next week is Dementia Awareness Week and locally Wakefield District Dementia Action Alliance, click here for their website, has a number of events planned. There are events planned every day but the two I thought I would publicize are the  Pop Up Awareness shop in the Upper Mall of the The Ridings which is there all week and a local event in Normanton. On Tuesday 1 -3 pm, at the Normanton Forget-Me-Not cafe at the Methodist Church, Wakefield Rd, there will be a Memory Bank session (holidays) at the cafe.
