In September, Prof Joanna Wardlaw and Prof Terry Quinn hosted a workshop on “blood flow and brain health: tackling dementia through vascular research" at the Royal Society of Edinburgh's Curious Festival. The expert panel, featuring Dr Fergus Doubal, Prof William Whiteley, Dr Lucy Stirland, Dr Una Clancy, Dr Tim Wilkinson, Dr Carmen Arteaga Reyes, Dr Katie Gallacher and Dr Tom Russ, explored the vascular causes of dementia and the latest advancements in understanding, diagnosis, treatment and public health policy related to vascular health. Additionally, attendees heard first-hand from individuals living with dementia to gain insight into how their experiences align with the efforts of scientists and policymakers to improve their quality of life. Due to the volume of insightful and relevant questions received, a Q&A has since been recorded to recap what was discussed on the day. Watch below. Comments are closed.
