A webinar for people living with dementia and their family/caregivers, with practical tips on how to manage these symptoms

About this event

We hear regularly that hallucinations are one of the most challenging symptoms of Lewy body dementia, and their presence is one of the biggest differences between LBD and other types of dementia.

But what causes them, and what is the best way to manage them?

In this webinar we will be joined by Professor John-Paul Taylor from Newcastle University who is a clinician and researcher and one of the country's top experts in Lewy body dementia. He will be joined by Consultant Admiral Nurse for Lewy body dementia Rachel Thompson to answer your questions.

The Lewy Body Society and Dementia UK recently published a new leaflet on Managing hallucinations and changes in visual perception in Lewy body dementia. You can download the leaflet on our website here: https://www.lewybody.org/downloads/.

About Prof. John-Paul Taylor

John-Paul Taylor is Professor of Translational Dementia Research with the Institute of Translational and Clinical Research at Newcastle University and an Honorary Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry with the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear (NTW) NHS Trust.

His research focuses on the application of neuroimaging and neurophysiological approaches in understanding symptom aetiology in Lewy body dementia. Clinically he leads a specialist Lewy body dementia clinic in Newcastle and works in the local memory clinic.
