Channel 5 has aired a documentary entitled: ‘Will you get dementia?’
The programme focuses on the early signs of dementia, strategies for reducing risk and the future of dementia research and treatments. It includes content relating to early-onset dementia, links to menopause and sports-related head injuries, and the role of lifestyle choices in risk reduction.
The documentary is presented by Dr Claire Taylor, a GP, who visits the South West Dementia Brain Bank to explore research into neurodegeneration and brain pathology, including using visual aids like BRACE’s 3D-printed brains and scans that illuminate the biology of dementia.
