Alzheimer Europe Conference Roundup 2022
Last week Adam Smith attended the 32nd Alzheimer Europe Conference in Bucharest, Romania. In this podcast Adam and his guests bring you highlights from the discussion and an informal chat around some of the issues being explored on the agenda.\n\nThis week\u2019s guests are husband and wife team - Chris Roberts, Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia, Jayne Goodrick, Dementia Carers Count Advisory Member. We also have three fantastic early career researchers, Dr Joni Gilissen & Charl\xe8ss Dupont from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Simone Felding from DZNE, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases.\n\nIn this great show we not only get the highlights from our researchers, but we have the privilege of getting first-hand commentary from Chris and Jane, whose personal experience of living with dementia and its impact on their lives, provides a unique, thought provoking, often moving, and essential perspective.\n\nThis year\u2019s conference was held under the motto \u201cBuilding bridges\u201d. As in previous years, this conference is one of the few in the diary that provides a great networking opportunity which brings together people with dementia, their carers, volunteers and staff of Alzheimer associations, policy makers, health and social care professionals, researchers, academics and industry representatives from all over Europe and beyond. It received over 300 abstracts for oral and poster presentations covering a broad range of topics, from fundamental science to care, diagnosis, policies, interventions, treatments and more.\n\nLinks discussed in the show:\n\nConference Website - https://bit.ly/3gm4eTo\nConference hashtag - https://bit.ly/3Sn4ezT\nAlzheimer Europe Reports - https://bit.ly/3Srxo0V\nINTERDEM World Caf\xe9 5th December 2022 - https://bit.ly/3Ttj9dk\n\n--\n\nYou can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website.
