About this service
The Memory Assessment Service (MAS) provides assessment, diagnosis and treatment and post diagnostic support for people in Leeds diagnosed with dementia and mild cognitive impairment.
The aim of the MAS is to offer people with suspected dementia and their carers
A positive experience of diagnosis
High quality post-diagnosis support
Access to treatments and management of their dementia alongside any other long-term conditions.
Our vision is that dementia should be managed as a long-term condition, which is often present with other long-term conditions, and requires timely access to specialist services. This achieves “the best of both” for people and carers, so that physical and mental health needs are treated together and with “parity of esteem”.
We support the Leeds Dementia Strategy which emphasises that increasing diagnosis must be connected to post-diagnosis support, so that people with the condition and their carers experience better quality of life and quality of care as a result of diagnosis. Therefore we provide a reliable connection from diagnosis to a quality standard of treatment, support and information.
Referrals to the Service are made through the LYPFT Single Point of Access (SPA).
