It was brilliant to be on BBC breakfast today talking about the first book that Matt Singleton has produced for people living with dementia. Matt has worked in collaboration with Alzheimer's Society via our accelerator programme, helping entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life.
We’re one step closer to a simple blood test that the NHS could use to diagnose dementia, meaning more people will get an accurate diagnosis much earlier. We join Alzheimer's Research UK to announce our Blood Biomarker Challenge teams from University of Oxford and UCL.

It is fantastic to be World Dementia Council 2024 summit talking about the future of dementia research. A quote I liked 'we over estimate what we can achieve in 12 months but underestimate what we can achieve in 10 years'. There is no doubt this is an exciting time in dementia research.
It was fantastic to be at the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programmes #CEPBIGPITCH . It was inspiring to see the innovations being developed in our NHS. Tony Young finished by stating that innovation means the future will be better than the past. That is so true for dementia.
We're delighted to be in Stratford-upon-Avon today supporting an exciting sandpit for early career researchers hosted by Alzheimer's Society For Researchers, Department of Health and Social Care & NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Wessex.
To kick off the event, Dr Karen Harrison Dening is discussing the critical issue of workforce research.
Fantastic start to day two of the inaugural Alzheimer's Society and NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Wessex sand pit event, providing seed funding to future dementia research leaders.
This is such a great initiative! Alzheimer's Society is delighted to be partnering with Cath Mummery🍊 and the NIHR to build a world class trials network, which will benefit from the first Alzheimer's Society Research Nurses!
A great video from Siân Gregory explaining why the recent paper on blood tests for AD is exciting and why there is still a lot more research to be done.
A great conversation on the BBC The One Show talking about the importance of getting a diagnosis of dementia. 👇
Delighted to be at the PREVENT general assembly today and to hear about the amazing progress that this ground breaking programme continues to make. Well done Craig Ritchie and the whole team.
This is a shocking analysis 👇, but we could be at a turning point in dementia thanks in part due to research Alzheimer's Society funded 30 years ago. It has never been more important to make dementia a priority Alzheimer's Society Campaigns.
