On the back of being privileged to be invited to the Financial Times Health Live Dementia Summit, I have decided to dedicate this episode to dementia and hopefully answer some questions the patients with newly diagnosed dementia may have or indeed anyone who has a friend or relative affected and wishes to learn more. I will focus on the symptoms of dementia as well as what needs to be done once a diagnosis has been made. I also discuss some of the things I learnt from the summit and what is being done to try and improve the quality of life for dementia patients.
