In this week's special episode, we talk to Duncan Alston, consultant geriatrician, about Parkinson's Dementia and his work to try and improve the conversations we have with patients about the condition.
Around half of people who have Parkinson's for over ten years will develop Dementia, but the cognitive aspect of this disease is not commonly discussed. In this episode we discuss what is being done to change that, pioneering work that can confirm or rule out an Alzheimer's diagnosis through lumbar puncture, and promising new drugs that are currently being assessed for use in the NHS.
Tune in to find out more.
