Summary
Each patient is regularly reassessed and, during the initial phases of the trial, this happens on a weekly basis. While the psychiatric trainee deals with physical (including neurological) examintion and appraisal of cognitive functions, the psychologist carries out formal psychometric tests. Both psychiatrist and psychologist deal with organisation and administration of the trial, with the result that patients and their families rarely deal with anyone else in the hospital. This involves travelling and often time off work for the caregivers.
