Dementia Pathways. For Health & Social Care Professionals

Find your local on-road driving assessment centre

  • If you have concerns about your patient’s ability to drive the gold standard test is an on-road driving assessment. 
  • On road driving assessors will frequently travel to a patient’s own home town to complete a driving assessment, this is particularly important for patients who have self-imposed driving restrictions.
  • Please note since these services are currently not regulated in Ireland we cannot provide any guarantee as to the quality of the services offered or to the competencies of those offering them
  • The RCPI and the RSA have published a guide to On-Road Driving Assessments (ORDA)
