We've brought together leading figures in dementia diagnosis and treatment to offer a rare, expert-led insight into the latest developments in the field.
Topics will include recent advances in our understanding of dementia, emerging treatment options, how new drugs make it to the NHS, and the role technology can play in diagnosis and condition management. Attendees will also have the opportunity to put questions to our experts.
The event is aimed at anyone with an interest in dementia and dementia research - no scientific knowledge is required.
