The National Audit of Dementia 2025 survey of Memory Assessment Services published
The Royal College of Psychiatrists has published the National Audit of Dementia 2025 survey of Memory Assessment Services.
The report provides a comprehensive overview of how dementia diagnostic services are organised and delivered across England, Wales and Jersey.
Key themes in the report include:
- Demand remains high for memory services
- Increasing waiting times are being reported for assessment and diagnosis
- Ongoing variation exists between service models and provision
- There are low staff vacancy rates overall and examples of joint working between memory services, neurology and geriatric medicine.
