Memory Tests

Memory Assessment

At NEUROCARE we specialize in the diagnosis and comprehensive management of conditions impacting on attention, concentration and memory.

Our Patients have access to the most advanced care and therapies available.

Our aim is to bring together all critical expert fields (Neuropsychiatry, Neuropsychology, Neurology and Neurosurgery) in order to establish a truly comprehensive, expert service.

Many memory disorders require close specialist coordination to be managed effectively through all stages of the disease.

Initial Evaluation

People who come to the NEUROCARE Memory Service for the first time receive an extensive Memory Package of assessment, usually involving:

Blood tests specifically relevant to memory deficits,
The most applicable Brain Scan for the problem at hand,
EEG (similar to ECG but measuring the electrical activity of the brain),
A complete Neuropsychological test battery (quantifying memory and other cognitive deficits), and
An even more in depth MEDIWEB memory analysis.

Memory loss and other related symptoms are often multi-factorial and complex. Being forgetful should at no age be considered "normal" or accepted.

The initial evaluation includes various aspects, and the purpose of this comprehensive evaluation is to determine the exact diagnosis, whilst critically aiming not to miss reversable causes or neglect to implement appropriate early interventions.

We believe therefore that a multidisciplinary evaluation is necessary in most cases, as to us a comprehensive evaluation include at the very least examinig:

Systemic aspects (by specific blood and urine tests),
Structural aspects (by MRI scan),
Electrical function (by EEG),
Functional assessment (by Neuropsychological evaluation), and
Screening, measuring and monitoring aspects (by MEDIWEB modules)

Family members who act as primary caregivers play an important role in the treatment, diagnosis, and care of a memory-impaired individual. Following the first evaluation, the Clinicians involved with each Patient hold a family conference to discuss diagnosis and potential treatments.

Clinical findings are therefore thoroughly discussed with each Patient, their Family members, Carers and other Healthcare providers involved in their further managemnt.
