Overview
Key facts
Dementia is one of the top priorities in global health and is estimated to affect over 44 million people worldwide. This has a huge impact on individuals and on society, so improvements in understanding, care and treatments are desperately needed.
In University College London (UCL)'s The Many Faces of Dementia free online course you'll discover some of the key issues in dementia care and research through the eyes of people affected by the condition, and world-leading experts at UCL.
We'll show how research into the signs, stages, symptoms and causes of less common forms can bring us closer to the aim of defeating dementia.
