Do you still have concerns about dementia?

You might find it helpful to talk to someone about the concerns you have, to get another point of view - perhaps someone close to you.

Alternatively, you could call our Dementia Support Line and talk to one of our trained dementia advisors.

To get the opinion of a professional, it’s a good idea to speak to your GP

If you’ve decided to speak with a GP about your concerns, you can:

• prepare for your appointment by making notes about what you want to say, or completing the Dementia symptoms checklist
• ask a friend or relative to go to the appointment with you
• be honest and let the GP know what’s worrying you
• use words and descriptions that feel right to you
• make a note of what the GP says
• ask questions if you’re unsure about anything.

If it's helpful, we have a video guide about talking to your GP.

The dementia symptoms checklist helps you create a document to start a conversation with your GP.

You probably answered some of these questions on your previous visit but it could be worth revisiting to see if other questions apply, or to revise your answers.
