How our service can help you
The Lewisham Memory Service offers comprehensive assessment, treatment, and support options to anyone over the age of 18 with memory problems likely to indicate dementia. The aim of the service is to assess dementia early and provide a timely diagnosis, so people with dementia and their carers can understand the condition, learn of treatment options and opportunities to participate in research, and connect with appropriate support resources to facilitate living well.
Our multidisciplinary team works in collaboration with the memory clinic at University Hospital Lewisham to provide high quality specialist care. The service is unable to directly support those with serious behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia but can refer on to other community mental health teams for such support.
Following assessment, staff will coordinate individualised care planning. This may include recommending medication if appropriate, post diagnostic support and signposting, problem solving strategies and referrals to relevant support services, such as the Alzheimer’s Society and the Assistive Technology Occupational Therapy Service.
