Transforming services for people ageing with an intellectual disability, the new Memory Service is a fusing of the expertise at the specialist regional memory service in Tallaght University Hospital, with the extensive knowledge on dementia in people with intellectual disability at the Trinity Centre for Ageing & Intellectual Disability and with the expertise of a well-established dementia specific service and memory clinic for people with ID at AVISTA (previously known as the Daughters of Charity).

Professor Mary McCarron presented in Leinster House at an #Oireachtas briefing with the Alzheimer Society of Ireland on the importance of Brain health. Professor McCarron highlighted the need to focus on the criticalness of brain health in terms of dementia prevention. The National Intellectual Disability Memory Service aims to provide access for every individual with an intellectual disability in Ireland to a Brain Health Clinic and to specialist assessment and comprehensive diagnostic work-up for memory concerns.
