SUMMARY:Setting up linked data bases for older adult social care
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Clarissa Giebel for this free public workshop to discuss findings from our NIHR study into how we might be able to set up linked\, longitudinal social care data bases for community services for older people\, such as day care and home care. Whilst health care data are routinely collected\, social care data are not. This makes it difficult to measure the benefits and importance of social care service usage for different older adults. \nIf you: \n\nwork in adult social care\nare an unpaid carer for an older person receiving social care\nare aged 65+ and access day care or home care services\nwork in a Local Authority\nwork in the data management and tech industry\n\nJoin us for this 2-hour workshop at the University of Manchester. Refreshments will be provided and you will receive a shopping voucher for your time. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Imaging Alzheimer's Before Symptoms Emerge
DESCRIPTION:We find ourselves in an exciting time in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) research. As a result of longitudinal studies revealing amyloid and tau dynamics\, we now have disease-modifying treatments demonstrating cognitive benefit in early symptomatic individuals. There may be even more benefit if these therapies could be administered earlier\, before cognitive impairment.  \nMedical imaging plays a pivotal role in understanding the disease during this presymptomatic period when cognitive changes are subtle and difficult to detect. It’s important to stay current on the latest research about how these biomarkers are changing: both in terms of when (stage of the disease) and where (affected areas in the brain) and how these findings could impact your clinical development programs. \nIn this webinar\, Perceptive’s Professor David Cash will present how novel imaging and trial designs are improving accessibility and precision in presymptomatic AD research\, including: \n– How changes in amyloid burden\, tau deposition and atrophy can be detected during the presymptomatic phase of AD\n– How ultra low-field MRI and rapid MRI techniques can increase accessibility to imaging both in clinical research and in clinical trials\n– How new trial designs are needed to define relevant treatment effects in presymptomatic AD \nJoin us to learn how imaging biomarkers can detect Alzheimer’s decades before symptoms\, supporting earlier intervention and innovative trial designs. \n\nRegister to Attend
