NUCOG - A Multidimensional Cognitive Assessment Tool for Psychiatry, Neurology, and General Medicine
The NUCOG is a brief, portable and easy-to-administer cognitive screening instrument developed at the Neuropsychiatry Unit of the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia for use in psychiatric and neurologic patient populations, with an emphasis on balancing breadth and brevity, whilst ensuring sensitivity to the subtle changes seen across a range of disorders.
Currently the NUCOG is available in a paper-based version published by ACER Press, with an iPad version now available. You can find out more about how the NUCOG was validated, and the various versions available, by clicking on the tabs above.
