First appointment
Our services are very busy and we will see you as soon as possible. There are times when we have to operate a waiting list so it may be several weeks before you hear from us.
At your first appointment you will see a member of our team who will talk to you about your memory concerns and will ask you to complete a memory assessment.
Receiving feedback
After your initial assessment you will be invited to a feedback appointment where you will see a member of our team who specialises in memory problems. They will ask you some more questions. The staff member will summarise the outcome of the assessment.
In this appointment they may:
- give you a diagnosis (if you have said you would like to be informed of this)
- provide some suggestions about how to manage your memory difficulties
- if appropriate, prescribe some medication.
If you receive a diagnosis and start taking medication you will be offered face-to-face follow up appointments at week 4 and 8 after you commence medication.
The clinician will also provide you with information about other agencies who can help you and your family or supporters. When appropriate your care will be transferred back to your GP.
Where will I be seen?
Memory services operate from several locations, including:
- Acomb
- Huntington
- Selby.
Diagnostic feedback appointments will be in Huntington or Acomb.
You will be offered the first available appointment but if you would like an appointment closer to home we will offer you the next appointment in one of the locations mentioned above. We do this to make sure the waiting list is the same in all areas.
If you are unable to attend an appointment, please let us know so we can offer this to someone else and arrange a more convenient time with you.
