Alzheimer Scotland’s Annual Conference will take place on World Alzheimer’s Day, Tuesday 21 September 2021. The event is being held digitally and will be streamed via the EICC. This year they have taken the decision to waive the fee and sessions will be recorded for access post-event.
The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Moving forward together – what matters to people with dementia, families, carers and practitioners, now and in the future’.
The day will include a keynote presentation from Alzheimer Scotland, Chief Executive Henry Simmons, contributions from people with lived experience on what matters to them, followed by a panel discussion with the Minister for Mental Wellbeing and Social Care Kevin Stewart MSP and Scotland’s National Clinical Director Professor Jason Leitch. There will also be presentations on drug discovery & research and brain health & prevention and the formal launch of the UK’s first Virtual Resource Centre.
Alzheimer Scotland will also be holding a series of workshops, webinars and drop in sessions between Wednesday 22 – Friday 24 September.
