Very insightful and thoughtful presentation from Prof Chris Whitty about " Health in an ageing society and importance of dementia "

Seeking a diagnosis when you suspect #dementia can be difficult for many reasons, however it's a crucial step towards understanding and managing the condition.
If you notice persistent changes in memory, abilities or behavior, consulting a healthcare professional for assessment and support is key
