Just had initial GP appointment with my Mum. She did really well in the cognitive tests he set (though she had been practising and told him so!) In her car afterwards I found a big list of key dates written on kitchen roll, with lots of incorrect calculations trying to work out Grandchildren's ages :-( GP asked me questions and for examples and listened well to my input. He has referred to memory clinic, but said it could also be due to anxiety or depression as they often present in a similar way for people who are older. Nothing is quite sitting right with me and I don't know why - he gave her a name and address to remember for 5 minutes which she did, aside from the house number. This seemed great to the GP, but in the 2 hours following the appointment she has kept asking repeatedly what the name and address were, along with what the doctors name was. I guess we have the referral, which was what I was hoping for, to get some support whatever the cause is....
