Carer said he had asked 2g for tests 25 September update - absolutely nothing done in carer direction but a third party had been involved.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Carer asked about the test.
SH said Herebrooks Test. Unable to source here.
The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) here. Unable to source example.
Carer did not say again in front of carer that such tests have been requested.
C1.3 Request
Lists of the “What year is it?” questions and similar are just one approach I assume are used at 2g and I ask to be given as much as possible to help caree. Also, please supply record sheets so that performance can be tracked and fed to you, CPNs, in GP discussion, perhaps DNs etc.
