Prevention and Early Recognition - Wednesday the 15th of October

The session will focus on recent advances in dementia prevention, with an emphasis on what we can practically say and offer to patients in our clinical contacts. It will introduce you to how and when to consider a referral for dementia to specialist services, both in older and younger onset age groups.
