Cognitive Disorders Clinic
How we can help you
We help people who are experiencing cognitive decline from ageing or age-related diseases. Cognitive decline is when you have difficulty with memory, paying attention, speaking or understanding. You may also have difficulty recognising people, places or things, and might find new places or situations overwhelming.
Our team will thoroughly assess what is happening for you. We will take time to listen to your concerns and frustrations and provide advice on managing your cognitive decline through lifestyle changes and medicines (if appropriate). We will involve your family or carers and provide you information on your condition and a suite of therapy options both in the community and Hospital. We can also discuss new treatments and clinical trials with you.
