The Southwark and Lambeth Integrated Memory Service (SLIMS) offers comprehensive assessment, treatment and support options to anyone over the age of 18 with mild to moderate memory problems likely to indicate dementia.
The multidisciplinary team work in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Society. They offer a comprehensive assessment package based on the principles of recovery and are committed to supporting carers of people with dementia.
Following assessment they coordinate individualised care planning. This may include prescribing medication, if appropriate, post diagnostic support and signposting, problem solving strategies, and individual or group therapy which is offered for both clients and carers. They can also organise for continuous follow up though their dementia advisors.
They work with the memory clinics at St Thomas, King’s College and Guy’s hospitals to provide high quality specialist care.
