Memory clinic prize

The Croydon Memory Clinic, part of South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM), wins an award for the best evidence-based psychosocial intervention for people with dementia and their caregivers. The service's clinical director Professor Sube Banerjee was presented with the award at the Annual International Conference of Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) held in Toronto in March. The Clinic involves family members in its rapid assessment and diagnosis and also provides support and advice to patients and their carers. SLaM have also just launched a new Developmental Neuropsychological Service for children, which will be accepting a wide range of referrals including for neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD, acquired brain injury cases, and memory, attention and language problems with an unknown cause.
