The dementia screen will ensure all modifiable risk factors are addressed and reviewed.
- STEP 1: You will have an examination, full physical health screen, relevant blood tests observations and lifestyle review
- STEP 2: Memory, Speech, and neurological testing
- STEP 3: Imaging – specialist dementia screening (if required)
All patients will have STEP I +2, but only those with positive findings will move onto step 3.
Steps 1 and 2 can be carried out in half a day but Step 3 will take longer depending on what is requested. Results for stage 1+2 will be available in 24 hours and the doctor will talk through the findings directly. Follow up is key.
The doctor will also discuss the many options to reduce the long term risk of dementia including lifestyle, diet, exercise, medication, supplements etc.
If medication is required they will prescribe this for you.
