Our memory services aim to help people who are worried that their poor memory may be a sign of dementia.

These services provide a full assessment of the problem, start treatment if that is needed and offer advice about available support for the person and their caregiver.

The Post Diagnosis Information sessions (PDIS) are held at the Memory Clinics each month.

For more information visit the Oxford Health website.

Sessions are only offered to patients who have recently been given a diagnosis at one of the clinics.

If you have recently received a diagnosis of dementia or you are supporting someone who has, then come along to one of our free post diagnosis information sessions run by Dementia Advisers from the Dementia Support Service at Alzheimer’s Society.

They are held at 2 venues.
