The memory assessment service is a primary care diagnostic pathway hosted by the older adult mental health service (opens in new tab) for people of any age with a suspected dementia. The service offers:
The teams are led by advance nurse practitioners, one in each county, with a dedicated medical lead consultant psychiatrist, consultant neuropsychologist and includes specialist memory assessment nurses and occupational therapists.
To rule out common reversible causes of memory impairment, we ask that a GP complete a physical health screen. This is to rule out any other possible causes for changes in your memory prior to you being referred to the service.
Assessments are usually undertaken with a clinic environment and take approximately two hours and diagnosis is mostly complete with 12 weeks from referral.
