Join Prof Alistair Burns, professor of Old Age Psychiatry and National Clinical Director for Dementia, NHS England to hear these questions answered, followed by an interactive Dementia Friends session which you will leave as a Dementia Friend. The event will end with a Q&A chaired by Mukesh Kapila, CBE.
