We're pleased to announce that our next Great Minds Live event on THURSDAY 1st MAY will be entirely hosted online.
The theme of our next live event is 'Diagnostic Advances in Dementia'. This event is online-only. So we will be presenting everything virtually. There have been some exciting developments in diagnostics research and they are helping to bring the prospect of simpler, accurate, methods for diagnosis into the NHS.
For many people attending this event online will be very familiar. However, if you have not joined like this before, we hope you'll find it easy enough.
First, you will need to book at our booking page. Much nearer the event we will send you the link to use on the day of the event.
