My OH was diagnosed with AD in May 13. His last appointment with a consultant was Jan 14 to review the donepezil prescribed during the diagnosing process. We were advised that he would be invited annually to the memory clinic. My daughter phoned the hospital when the appointment became quite overdue and we were experiencing some difficulties with OHs anger/frustration. She was told that OH had been discharged, without our knowledge, and that we would need to go back to the GP to re-refer. I finally did this a few weeks ago and our GP wrote to the same consultant. During the GP appointment I briefly shared a fraction of the difficulties, I had to phone the police when OH wandered off to a near town 14 miles away, continence issues. Yesterday I received a copy of the consultants reply to GP which advised a new med to phase in alongside current prescription and that he was not offering an appointment! I am gobsmacked! although he did suggest mental health team if needed. I have arranged daily support, and respite in our home so that I get an occasional overnight break, I contacted local authority for carer assessment, though we would have to pay for support, which is already in place, social work assistant said she wasn’t sure what else could be offered but would ask a qualified social worker to contact....never happened. Apart from 6monthly GP appointments we have no ‘professional support’. Is this the same for everyone? Can anyone help me understand what a memory clinic is please?
