Memory Clinics
Memory clinics provide an assessment service for individuals who are experiencing memory problems. This will help to identify possible treatable causes for memory difficulties or where appropriate provide a diagnosis of dementia. This may involve more than one visit to the clinic which can be lead by either a doctor or a nurse.
Memory clinics work very closely with Community Mental Health Teams for Older People who will provide any relevant information advice and support following your visit to the clinic.
How to access the Service
Referrals to this service can be made through your GP. If you are concerned about your memory or that of someone you know, speak to the GP.
If you would like more information about this service or about memory problems and dementia contact
the Community Mental Health Teams where someone will be happy to discuss this with you.
