Be Part of Research: Dementia

Dementia is one of the main causes of death in the UK and it regularly makes the headlines when high profile people choose to share their diagnosis or when there are new findings of possible causes. In this episode, we talk to Professor John O’Brien who is the NIHR Speciality Lead for Dementia and Professor of Old Age Psychiatry. We explore why dementia rates are increasing, what research has found so far and what research is being done currently to improve diagnosis, treatment and care. Visit shownotes and transcript.
