The Questions

We join Ailsa on a chilly Melbourne afternoon as she chats with Steve Macfarlane, head of clinical services for DSA. They discuss how a diagnosis is delivered and we hear from Clare and Jim as they recount the experience.<br/><br/>One question the podcast asks is how early is early when it comes to picking up on a future diagnosis. To that end, we hear from Craig Ritchie as he explains looking for new ways to detect and measure the progression of the disease in the brain in a ‘silent period’. <br/><br/>In addition, Craig stresses the importance of looking at dementia as a disease of the brain and the focus on maintaining brain health. <br/><br/>The Dementia Podcast will be releasing every week, so please subscribe on your favourite podcast platform to stay up to date. <br/><br/>If you have any questions, please get in touch at hello@dementiacentre.com <br/><br/>The music for this podcast is reproduced with the permission of the composer and is registered with APRA
