Fifty-one patients were found to suffer from dementia and a further 26 from mild but significant memory disorder. The open referral system proved a relatively efficient way of identifying patients with mild or early dementia of Alzheimer type. KEY wo~~s-Alzheimers' disease, memory clinic, diagnosis.
