Memory & Dementia Services
Memory Concerns
If you are worried or concerned about your memory, you are able to be seen in your GP practice for an assessment. You must first book an appointment with the nurse, which you can do by clicking this link. Once you have had your memory assessment, you will be booked an appointment with the GP to follow up on your results. We suggest you come to both appointments accompanied by someone who knows you well, and you feel comfortable attending. The GP can then make a decision whether you should have a blood test at the practice or if they want to refer you for a CT scan, or to secondary care. We can then discuss any result with you that come from secondary care or scans.
