It is wonderful to see Alzheimer's Research UK focusing so much on raising awareness of #Lewy body #dementia . This film is a poignant reminder of the human cost, and why we must work #ForACure

Our Chief Exec 🟧 Hilary Evans 🟧 joined Dementias Platform UK #Translation2024 conference today to speak about the work being done to accelerate & grow clinical trials in the UK.

It’s fantastic to hear that collaboration across the research & clinical community is at the heart of this!

“I’ve got three degrees, but I can’t tell the time.” - Des

Everyone's experience of dementia symptoms can be different. Watch as Des, who is living with dementia with Lewy bodies, talks about the symptoms he experiences which you may not have heard of.

Today we’re shining a spotlight on Des who is living with dementia with Lewy bodies. This lesser-known form of dementia affects around 100,000 people in the UK.

Watch and share the full Connections film with Des and Valli: youtu.be/GDvn2qVtMcM

Two world-class research teams – based at UCL & Dementias Platform UK at University of Oxford - will carry out UK-wide clinical trials to identify blood tests to boost dementia diagnosis.

We hope this will lead to blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s & other forms of dementia becoming

Thanks everyone for a really great conference Research at ARUK @ARUKconf24
