evaluation from a qualified doctor, without the delays involved in an NHS memory clinic referral.
London has some of the longest NHS memory clinic waiting times in England. Demand across trusts, including Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust, consistently outstrips capacity, and patients often wait six months or more from GP referral to their first specialist appointment.
Our London memory assessments are suitable for:
- Adults experiencing persistent memory lapses or word-finding difficulties.
- People concerned about early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
- Those whose family members have noticed changes in their thinking or behaviour.
- Professionals who need a formal cognitive assessment for employment or insurance purposes.
- Patients who want a second opinion after an NHS memory clinic appointment.
- Older adults wanting baseline cognitive testing for peace of mind.
- At the end of your appointment, your doctor will clearly explain their findings, including any diagnosis and next steps.
What Your London MEMORY ASSESSMENT COVERS
What Your London MEMORY ASSESSMENT COVERS
Your appointment at our Marylebone clinic is a structured consultation with an experienced private doctor that covers your cognitive function, medical history, and the symptoms that brought you in.
Your doctor will carry out validated cognitive screening tools during the appointment. These typically include the MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) and MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), which assess attention, memory, language, orientation and visuospatial skills. They are straightforward and take around 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
Your doctor will also consider other possible causes of memory symptoms, including thyroid problems, vitamin deficiencies, medication side effects, sleep problems and anxiety, many of which are treatable.
Other assessments your doctor may carry out or arrange include:
- Blood tests to rule out reversible causes of cognitive change.
- Referral for brain imaging where clinically indicated.
- A written cognitive assessment report for employment, legal or insurance purposes.
By the end of the appointment, you will have a clear picture of your current cognitive function and a plan for what comes next.
Private vs NHS Memory CARE IN LONDON
Private vs NHS Memory CARE IN LONDON
NHS memory services across London operate under considerable pressure. Demand across Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust and other London trusts is high, and patients typically wait months from GP referral to first specialist appointment. The route to a formal diagnosis is rarely fast.
Private memory assessment in London gives you faster access to a qualified doctor, with appointments at our Marylebone clinic usually available within days. You are seen for as long as your consultation needs. Your doctor will complete a full cognitive assessment during the same visit and provide written findings to share with your GP or specialist.
Many London patients use a private appointment to get an earlier, clearer picture and then continue with NHS services for ongoing support. Others prefer to stay private for quicker follow-up and more flexible appointment times around work and family commitments.
If you need a formal cognitive assessment report for a driving licence review, legal proceedings, an insurance claim, a medico-legal instruction or a workplace accommodation, your doctor can arrange one.
Most major health insurance policies cover private memory assessments in London. Self-paying patients do not need a referral to book.
