3. Closing the gap(s) Memory service model is diagnosis dependent. National move away from not only increasing diagnosis rate but also providing good quality post-diagnostic support. Increasing body of evidence to suggest that CEIs are effective even in severe disease and if stopped lead to deterioration. As the condition progresses, it is harder to manage you own care – no clear pathway for BPSD. More likely to have co-morbid physical health problems.

4. Vision for Camden Memory service • To provide an assessment service for people with dementia • Initiation of medication • Post diagnostic support from diagnosis to death for all diagnosis • Tiered service depending on need • Skilled interventions delivered by qualified staff (nursing/OT/psychology) to people with BPSD who do not meet CMHT threshold • Closer links with GP practices to provide informal support and advice around dementia. • Therapeutic intervention for carers

5. New Model • Aim to diagnose 1266 people with dementia • Review the person – not just the medication • Estimated caseload of 1085 (exclude care homes)
