Camden Memory Service is a specialist service that provides assessment, diagnosis and treatment for people suspected of developing dementia.

Patients diagnosed with dementia will be reviewed regularly to monitor the progression of their condition, and to offer support, advice and signposting.

Patients may be seen at home or in clinic for their first appointment. The patient (and carer/relative) are seen in clinic for feedback and to discuss diagnosis. Patients diagnosed with dementia will be seen regularly for ongoing review by a memory service practitioner.
