Events

The MHDN network has held a number of events since its inception in April 2013

Dementia Variation Conference 16/09/15

A Dementia Conference which focussed on ‘Variation’ as a theme was held by the SCN in collaboration with Oxford Academic Health Science Network.  Over 8o delegates at the event heard from local leaders in dementia diagnosis, treatment and care and explored the many ways in which variation can occur in practice.  The event concluded with a very thought provoking debate led by Professor Simon Lovestone on MCI and dementia.

Full details of the event are below and the agenda and slides are attached.  For further details on any of this work please contact Richard Jerrett via email at richard.jerrett2@nhs.net
