Abstract
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based therapy recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia, however its effectiveness for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has not been explored. This research update briefly outlines Cognitive Training and Cognitive Stimulation as cognitive intervention options for MCI, before positing that the offer of CST should be extended to those diagnosed with an MCI. This is discussed in relation to the limitations which exist around MCI diagnosis as a whole, as well population ageing and conversion rates between MCI and clinical dementia. We conclude by outlining the CST provision which we intend to provide within our Memory Clinic for those recently diagnosed with an MCI.
