Participants wanted for survey into dementia diagnosis 

ByJDCteam

Alzheimer’s Research UK has launched a survey to gather the views of people who have been diagnosed with dementia in the last three years, or who are currently seeking answers for memory and thinking concerns. The survey is also open to anyone in a caring role supporting a friend, family member or loved one. 

It takes around 20 minutes to complete, and people with dementia symptoms or a diagnosis can complete it alone or with the help of someone. The survey closes on 19 December 2024.
