Modern Medicine: Dementia

What causes brain changes as you age? And what therapies are out there? Join dementia specialists at the cutting edge of medical research as they share their expertise on the latest science about dementia.

In this event, Tara will uncover the brain changes that cause dementias and how advances in neuroscience are finally bringing hope for life-changing treatments. 

Anna will explore how unpaid carers play a vital role in supporting those with dementia and yet often face challenges accessing information and support. Anna will highlight how resources such as The Carers Academy can help.
