What happens after that?. Some GP services May diagnose directly but most refer to a memory assessment service for further investigation. Their details for east lancs can be found here

If you score above 7/28, we’ll refer you to your GP for further assessment. If you’re not in hospital & want to talk about your cognition, the GP is your first stop. This is a great resource from @alzheimerssoc about talking to your GP about dementia
alzheimers.org.uk
Talking to your GP is the first step to find out if you have dementia. These tips will help you to get the most out of your appointment.

If you’re over 65 and in hospital at ELHT, we will ask you if you have been more forgetful in the last year. If the answer is yes, we’ll do a dementia screen like this 6CIT

Take a minute to read this linked post. Wendy was an incredibly inspiring person and the first author I read who had dementia. In true form, her last words are powerful and pertinent to understanding an INDIVIDUAL experience and perspective of dementia.
This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective. Sarah and Gemma.
