Ealing is an ethnically diverse borough, with 51% of people belonging to Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups.

CIDS referrals average around 50-60 a month with a caseload for the team of around 600.

The CIDS team offers a service for all patients with a primary dementia



The advertised post is primarily based in the East of Ealing (Sycamore Lodge in Acton), but works across the borough, also having clinic and office capacity at Elm Lodge in the West of the borough.
