Brain Health Symposium
31/10/2023 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
£215Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and Brain Health Scotland – Understanding and promoting brain health as a key part of healthy ageing and dementia prevention. Our expert talks will provide a unique viewpoint of our current understanding of brain health, which will include discussions of emerging and controversial topics, including ‘Risk factor disclosure – what does the public want to know?’ and an update on Brain Health services around the country.
Topics covered at this in person symposium include:
- Brain ageing: the good the bad and the unknown
- Unconventional risk factors and cognitive toxins
- The drugs might work…
Our programme features a lively debate on whether dementia is truly preventable, which is sure to provoke plenty of discussion.
We anticipate this in person symposium being of interest to a wide range of doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals across primary and secondary care.
