Diagnostic Support


Refer directly to speciality clinic where Neurologist and Neuropsychologist work together

If a patient presents in your clinic as complex to diagnose - for example: patient is under 65 or is experiencing atypical cognitive changes - please refer them to our specialist Rural and Remote Memory Clinic where multi-disciplinary team members including a Neurologist and Neuropsychologist participate in the assessment.

We then follow up with you to report diagnosis and suggest a managment plan.

To refer, please complete and fax the referral form to 306-966-1152.
