As we age, we all get a little more forgetful, whether it’s forgetting a name, or walking into a room and having no idea what we went there for. In this session our Care UK dementia specialists will give an overview of normal ageing and how symptoms differ from dementia. They will explore the signs of dementia, and the differences between the 3 most common types of dementia. Trusted
