As rates of dementia and cognitive decline continue to rise in the UK, a new private, consultant-led service is offering patients swift assessment and diagnosis within days

Phoenix Hospital Group, a London-based independent healthcare provider, has opened a new Same Day Memory Clinic in London’s Harley Street Medical Health District.

The new clinic provided comprehensive cognitive assessments and diagnoses within days. 

The launch comes amid growing concern over increasing rates of dementia and cognitive decline in the UK’s ageing population.

Designed to deliver swift access to memory specialists, diagnostic imaging, and blood tests, the new service offers same-day consultations and results under one roof.

Patients can self-refer, with appointments available within days and no waiting lists.

Marcus Whiteley, Hospital Director at Phoenix Hospital Group, said: “Memory concerns can be frightening and often life-changing.

 “Our new service removes the long delays many families face, replacing them with timely, compassionate care and clinical clarity, fast. We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel safe, heard, and supported.”

The clinic has been established to support individuals experiencing symptoms such as increasing forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, problems with language, or changes in mood, personality, or behaviour.

These may indicate the early stages of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia, where early assessment is vital in helping patients and families plan appropriate care.

Each patient receives a personalised consultation, including a full medical history, cognitive testing, and any necessary MRI scans or blood tests, with results explained by a consultant on the same day. 

The service is supported by a team of experts to provide ongoing care and referrals where required, ensuring a seamless pathway beyond diagnosis.

Located in the heart of London’s private medical district

Located in the heart of London’s private medical district, the clinic offers a discreet, person-centred environment.

It also forms part of a wider programme of preventative health services offered by the group, including heart health checks, cancer risk assessments, and bone density screening for older adults.

The launch reflects the company’s ongoing investment in high-quality, fast-access healthcare services to support healthy ageing.
