Last week Dementia Researcher attended the 34th Alzheimer Europe Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. In this podcast Dr Megan Polden and her guests bring you highlights from the second half of the event, sharing news and their best bits.

Dr Megan Polden talks with Dr Aisling Flynn from Bournemouth University and Dr Emma Law from the Scottish Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network and Dr Lukas Duffner 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.
