Recent Advances of Young Onset Dementia

Event Notes:

Since its inception in 2018, this well-established course has been communicating the latest insights into young-onset dementia to attendees drawn from a wide range of clinical specialities.

The course offers updates on the latest diagnostic standards, best practices, and new developments in clinical care for this previously under-recognized patient group. As dementia research and treatment gain increasing attention, this course is more relevant than ever.

Chaired by Professor Peter Garrard, the event is tailored to meet the diverse needs of neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, psychologists, and memory clinic teams. Last year’s addition of a themed Clinico-Pathological Conference was a hit, adding an exciting competitive element with one participant winning their course fee back!

This year, we have an exceptional faculty line-up, including Dr. Jeremy Isaacs, National Clinical Director for Dementia and Older People’s Mental Health. New to the agenda are two must-hear talks:

Dr. Tzehow Mok will provide a practical approach to rapidly progressive dementia, sharing his expertise from the myriad of cases seen at the National Prion Clinic (though not restricted to that pathology!).

Dr. Akshay Nair, a neuropsychiatrist specialising in Huntington’s disease, will discuss its cognitive symptoms and offer the latest research updates.

Certification

Delegates will be issued with a certificate of attendance and CPD will be sought from the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom.
