| Annotation | The model of secondary tier specialist memory clinics - such as in Croydon - has substantial cost implications for implementation nationally and with "unknowns" regarding medium and long term outcomes. The authors of the article argue the case for a three-tiered approach to memory services as modelled in Gnossal, Stafford. They propose an alternative model which takes account of the strengths of primary care, supplemented with the specialist skills of a district memory service staff, and ensures that the most complex cases are investigated and managed by the expertise of regional and academic centres as a tertiary resource.
