In this podcast Dr Megan Rose Readman and her guests bring you highlights from event, sharing news and their best bits from the hundreds of posters and talks delivered. Dr Megan Rose Readman talks with Dr Fiona Carragher from Alzheimer’s Society and Dr Andy Northcott from the Geller Institute of Ageing and Memory, University of West London and Dr Sébastien Libert from Alzheimer Europe. This year’s Alzheimer Europe Conference, themed 'New Horizons – Innovating for Dementia,' brought together a diverse group of participants, including people living with dementia, carers, volunteers, Alzheimer association staff, policymakers, health and social care professionals, researchers, and academics. It remains a unique platform where the latest advances in fundamental science, care, policy, and public engagement are shared and discussed.
