6. Dementia

Dementia is an illness without a cure yet, and whilst it’s more common in people over the age of 65, it can affect young people too. A 2024 report from the Alzheimer’s Society put the number of people in the UK living with Dementia at around 1 million.

So what research is taking place into this debilitating disease? What are the hopes for the future, and what progress is being made in the fight against Dementia?

Gavin Freeborn is joined by Dr Clarissa Giebel, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Population Health, where she leads the Dementia Research Group on Inequalities, and Dr Megan Polden, a post-doctoral researcher with a focus on dementia.
