Dr Soumit Singhai
MBBS (Lond), MRCP (UK), FRCP (London)
Consultant in Cognitive Disorders, Dementia, and Parkinson’s Disease
Consultant Geriatrician & Internal Medicine Specialist
A Leading Specialist in Memory, Movement, and Neuropsychiatric Health
Dr Soumit Singhai is a consultant geriatrician specialising in cognitive and complex neurodegenerative disorders, with over two decades of clinical experience.
His work is defined by the careful synthesis of clinical, cognitive, and biomarker information into clear, structured understanding — allowing patients and families to move from uncertainty to clarity, and from clarity to a confident plan forward.
Dr Singhai’s approach is grounded in a clear clinical philosophy: that the diagnosis of memory problems does not come from performing a series of tests, but from carefully selecting and curating the right investigations to generate meaningful information — and integrating that information through expert clinical judgement to reach an accurate diagnosis.
At the heart of this approach is a structured four-dimensional diagnostic model, integrating:
Structural assessment — including high-resolution 3 Tesla MRI
Cognitive assessment — focused on real-world thinking and memory performance, beyond scores alone
Molecular insight — including Alzheimer’s blood biomarker testing
Functional evaluation — using advanced brain imaging where clinically appropriate, such as FDG-PET, amyloid PET, and DaTscan imaging
These dimensions are not used in isolation. They are brought together through same-day clinical synthesis, allowing for clear, accurate, and clinically meaningful conclusions — often within a single, structured day.
What matters most, however, is what this clarity allows patients and families to understand — and how it guides the next steps forward.
Most patients leave with a clear understanding of what is happening, and a clear plan for what to do next.
His work is designed not only to establish a diagnosis, but to translate that diagnosis into a personalised plan forward — providing patients and families with understanding, direction, and continuity of care at an often uncertain time.
He has been instrumental in shaping modern private memory assessment pathways in London, and was an early pioneer of same-day diagnostic models in UK cognitive practice.
From uncertainty to clarity and a clear way forward — guided by expert clinical synthesis.
Unparalleled Expertise in Cognitive and Movement Disorders
Dr Singhai holds dual accreditation in General Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine, with a Fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP). His distinguished NHS career included serving as the Clinical Lead for Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders at Homerton University Hospital (2009–2016), where he developed an award-winning, integrated service recognised as national best practice by Parkinson’s UK. He subsequently held a consultant post at the Lister Hospital in Hertfordshire (2016–2021) where he further honed his expertise in both cognitive and movement disorders, including the management of complex neuropsychiatric and behavioural symptoms.
One of Dr Singhai’s key clinical interests is the neuropsychiatric manifestations of dementia—including anxiety, depression, agitation, hallucinations, and delusions, collectively known as Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD). These distressing symptoms are too often overlooked or ineffectively treated, but with his extensive experience, Dr Singhai offers a calm, compassionate, and highly effective approach to managing them, improving not only patients’ quality of life but also easing the immense emotional burden on families and carers.
A Specialist in Lewy Body Dementia Care
Dr Singhai is especially passionate about improving diagnosis and treatment for patients living with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD)—the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer’s, yet one that is frequently missed or misdiagnosed. LBD is a complex condition that combines memory loss, movement difficulties, fluctuating cognition, visual hallucinations, and autonomic symptoms.
Many memory clinics focus predominantly on Alzheimer’s disease, but Dr Singhai’s dual expertise in both cognitive and motor disorders enables him to recognise the nuanced presentations of LBD and other mixed dementias. Early diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia is critical because the condition is eminently treatable, and timely interventions can significantly improve quality of life and independence.
A Compassionate, Patient-Centred Approach
Patients and families consistently praise Dr Singhai for his empathy, attentiveness, and dedication to long-term care. He is known for taking time to listen, building lasting relationships with patients and families, and offering ongoing support through every stage of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Many of his patients have remained under his care for years, a testament to the trust and reassurance he inspires.
A Lifetime Commitment to Brain Health
With an unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and compassionate care, Dr Singhai brings a rare combination of clinical acumen, warmth, and humanity to his work. For individuals and families seeking answers, reassurance, and hope in the face of memory loss, dementia, or complex neurological symptoms, Dr Singhai offers world-class expertise grounded in empathy and deep understanding.
Leadership, Teaching, and Recognition
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr Singhai is a Royal College of Physicians examiner, a national and international speaker on Parkinson’s disease and dementia, and has played a pivotal role in NHS service development and quality improvement projects. He is passionate about education, regularly teaching medical colleagues, GPs, and healthcare professionals to raise standards of care for people with cognitive and neurological conditions.
