Improving the experience of diagnosis webinars
From October 2022 to June 2023 we ran a series of six webinars that focused on improving the experience of diagnosis for younger people with suspected dementia and their families.
Our aim was to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience amongst professionals to improve understanding of issues relating to the experience of young onset diagnosis, how those issues might be resolved and the resultant benefits. You can catch up with recordings of the webinars below.
