"I found the assessment to be lengthy"

About: Dementia and Older Persons Mental Health / North & East Memory Assessment Team

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I was having problems with my memory and noticed a significant change after a recent hospital admission. My memory was quite different, and it wasn't just my memory; I also experienced other changes. I spoke to my GP, who conducted a B12 test, which came back normal. As a result, I was referred to the Memory Assessment clinic.

I found the assessment to be lengthy and had difficulty concentrating during it. The lady who conducted the assessment was nice, but it was challenging for me. Following the assessment, I had a CAT scan, and I have an upcoming appointment to discuss the results.

My daughter filled out the necessary form, which was difficult because it asked about what I was like 10 years ago. Some of the questions were slightly confusing.

I feel a bit anxious about the results, especially since my family has a history of brain tumors. However, I found the service from the Memory Assessment clinic to be nice and helpful.
