Alzheimer Scotland is committed to three areas of research: Prevent Now. Care Today. Cure Tomorrow. Thanks to the latest studies, we are learning more than ever about not only dementia as an illness and what is most important when it comes to care, support and quality of life, but also what can be done to help prevent dementia: and, ultimately, finding a cure.

Let's talk about Research and Prevention.
