Dementia Action Week

Dementia Action Week runs in May every year and is a national awareness campaign from the Alzheimer’s Society, designed to help people take action to improve the lives of those affected by dementia, and people around them. The theme this year was diagnosis, something we are very passionate about at Re:Cognition Health.

In the Media:

Re:Cognition Health’s CEO and Medical Director Dr Emer MacSweeney was featured extensively in the media, giving advice on dementia and sharing expert tips on how to reduce the risk. Some of the articles can be found below:

Dr Tom MacLaren, Consultant Psychiatrist at Re:Cognition Health participated in “Loveday Answers”, a webinar which addressed and answered questions from the public about dementia. From medication to treat symptoms, new-generation drugs, clinical trials and the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia, the webinar was informative and attracted huge interest from the public.

The webinar was chaired by Anna Dobbie, Editor of Caring Times Magazine who lead the panel of experts comprising Dr Julia Wood, Consultant in Practice Improvement and Dementia Care Consultant and Gabriela Zackova, Director of Wellbeing & Dementia at Loveday, alongside Dr MacLaren.

Loveday Answers was hosted by Loveday & Co, a dedicated operator of specialist memory care in the UK, providing residential, home care, respite and day club environments that are commensurate with the lifestyles enjoyed by its Members.

Doctor Education Event:

Dr Emer MacSweeney presented a CPD education talk for doctors on “Alzheimer’s, How and Why it’s Important to Spot the Early Signs” and educated on how Re:Cognition Health is delivering a new paradigm.

The talk was attended by GPs who were all interested to hear about the new-generation medications being developed in clinical trials, the opportunities for their patients and the future of research into Alzheimer’s. Dr MacSweeney also informed on how the clinical trials work, the advantages, opportunities and potential benefits in participating. The talk was informative and highly engaging as well as inspiring for the doctors in attendance.
