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.
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.
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.
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.
