The Dementia Assessment Process

Navigating the various stages of cognitive assessment can often feel disjointed and frustrating when dealing with public healthcare services. At Private Medical Clinic, we have revolutionised the process to offer a seamless and efficient experience. Our goal is to provide you with a definitive diagnostic decision that aligns with NICE guidelines, all within a timeframe that suits your needs.

1. Physical Assessment

The first step in our dementia assessment process involves ruling out physical causes that may affect cognitive performance. We have a network of locations across the West Midlands where blood tests, urine analysis, and ECGs (heart monitoring) can be undertaken. Our commitment to comprehensive testing ensures that we leave no stone unturned in understanding the root causes of cognitive impairment.

2. Cognitive Assessment

We employ the Addenbrookes assessment tool, a recognized and validated measure for specialist memory services in the United Kingdom (Hodges & Larner, 2017). This assessment evaluates recall, recognition, awareness, and performance. You can choose to undergo this assessment in person or virtually, ensuring flexibility and convenience.

3. Imaging

Included in our assessment package is imaging by either CT or MRI scan, depending on your age. These scans provide objective and measurable information about the structure of your brain, enabling our experts to make well-informed decisions.

4. Specialist Review and Diagnosis
Our team includes psychologists who specialise in dementia diagnosis. After completing the assessments, we arrange a concluding consultation, which can be conducted in person or virtually. This ensures that you receive a thorough evaluation from experts in the field.
5. Prescription
Should medication be necessary, we provide a private prescription for the first six weeks. Please note that the cost of the medication is charged by the dispensing pharmacy. Our focus is not just on diagnosis but also on providing you with the initial support you need.
6. Expert Report
We compile a comprehensive expert report that consolidates all the information gathered during the assessment process. This report is shared with your GP and can be used to outline your care needs. It is a critical document that ensures continuity of care.
