About Us

NeuroClin Glasgow

Founded in 1999, we are an independent research organisation, engaged in national and international research studies that seek to find better treatments for those with Memory Impairment, Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia.

In 2020, Glasgow Memory Clinic became a NeuroClin centre, extending our research focus to include Parkinson’s disease, Depression and other neurological conditions.

The clinic officially became NeuroClin Glasgow in November 2023.

Our dedicated state-of-art research facility is located within Excel House, Eurocentral – conveniently located for those travelling from the central belt of Scotland. Our staff are all experienced healthcare professionals who have now dedicated their time to research.

Access to new treatments

We have a range of current studies running at the clinic suitable for those with varying degrees of Memory Impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Depression.

Clinical studies are the only way to test new potential treatments for neurological diseases and our clinic is at the forefront of this research.

Participation in studies is voluntary and all medical care, attention and treatment is provided completely free of charge.

Travel expenses are reimbursed and lunch is provided for those visiting the clinic to participate in a study.

How We Can Help

We offer free memory screening for those aged over 50 who are concerned about a decline
in memory function and who are interested in participating in a research study.

If you are worried that your memory is worse we can provide memory screening.
Many people screened are normal and find this beneficial. If you do have memory impairment and we have a research study that might be suitable for you we will provide you with suitable information.

It can be difficult to be objective about your own memory. Some people think they have a poor memory but testing shows it to be normal, this can be reassuring.

Some people are worried their memory is getting worse and testing may confirm there is memory impairment. Identifying memory impairment early allows the potential for early intervention. Alzheimer’s disease can now be diagnosed much earlier in the Prodromal phase than in the past and this is a very positive development in clinical research.

The Inspiration of Albert Enz

We extend our most sincere thanks to Albert Enz who very kindly and enthusiastically took up the challenge to create seven amazing new paintings for the reception area of NeuroClin Glasgow.

The works displayed in this brochure began with seven words and no brief other than the canvas sizes. The words are Memories, Sentiment, Dreams, Peace, Thoughts, Compassion and Inspiration. Each word forms the title of a painting and is accompanied by the original words and thoughts of the artist.

Alzheimer and Fleming – Observation in Time

It is probably unlikely that German doctor Alois Alzheimer, who was born in Bavaria on the 14th June 1864, would have imagined when he reported a sole case of a subject suffering from dementia in 1906 that he was witness to a sea of change in medicine. The condition he described, subsequently called Alzheimer’s disease, would become the major cause of dementia globally in the 20th and 21st centuries. He stood at a point in history when the main cause of dementia, syphilis, was soon to be eradicated by another major discovery to be made by Scottish doctor Alexander Fleming, born in Ayrshire on the 6th August 1881.
