Subsequently a shared care request is sent to the GP. - Once a shared care agreement is in place then the patient is reviewed by an assistant practitioner every 6-12 months - If a patient is in a care home then ongoing follow up would be completed by the care home liaison team for 6-12 month review In the case of more complex memory referrals with higher level of risk or unsettled presentations then the process would be the same as above but the patient would be allocated a CPN. The CPN would then complete the follow up reviews for titration of memory medications and regular outpatient clinic appointment reviews with a medic would be offered. For functional referrals, patients tend to be seen by medics and then followed up via outpatient clinic for as long as treatment and monitoring is required. Patients may also be allocated a CPN and can be discharged back to primary care if remaining settled on maintenance treatment. Post diagnostic support is currently commissioned to be provided locally by the Alzheimer’s Society.
