Innovative protocol aids in locating missing dementia patients
The Isle of Man police and Forget Me Not charity just rolled out the Herbert Protocol—a new way to help bring missing dementia patients home faster.
Families fill out a form with key info like photos, routines, and favorite spots.
Each patient gets a wristband or fob with a QR code that links straight to their emergency contact.

This £2,000 project comes with 1,000 wristbands and fobs ready for distribution by police and Admiral Nurses.
Want more info? Police and charity staff are out on Strand Street today (11:00-14:00 BST) to answer questions.
Julie Amphlett from Forget Me Not says finding people quickly is crucial as dementia cases on the island hit 1,800.
You can also grab the forms online through the Isle of Man Constabulary website.
