Yesterday we shared our research with some of the centre's recent donors & fundraisers. It was lovely to connect with advocates of #DementiaResearch & express gratitude. Your support makes a difference!
Special thanks to our colleagues for sharing their important work #ThankYou👏

[AlzheimerScot DRC @AlzScotDRC]

Great to see this trial starting. The @NRS_NDN will be running this in the #NHS across Scotland - Dundee, Glasgow, Stornoway, D&G, A&A and Lanarkshire...

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

A nationwide trial aimed at transforming how dementia is diagnosed through blood tests is now underway!

The READ-OUT research team will assess a range of new and existing blood tests for different types of dementia and assess how they could be used to detect dementia at various stages.

This vital research is bringing us closer than ever before to a breakthrough, and it wouldn’t have been possible without support from our partners @AlzResearchUK , @NIHRresearch, and funds raised by players of @PostcodeLottery.

The first volunteers have begun taking part in a new trial comparing blood tests for dementia.

The READ-OUT study will help generate the evidence needed for these tests to be used in the NHS to improve dementia diagnosis.

An interesting study led by the Next Gen Brain Health team highlights the importance of engaging young adults in brain health & #Dementia prevention to reduce risk factors in adults aged 18-39 @dementiahealth @FrancescaRoFa @doctormullin

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, including two new risks—high cholesterol and vision loss, suggests new report from the Lancet Commission on dementia.
