What you'll learn in this expert session
New medications for Alzheimer’s disease mean clinicians now, more than ever, need to identify and diagnose patients early in the disease process, when these treatments are most likely to be effective. In this presentation, Dr Steph Daly and Dr Rebecca Moore, both general practitioners, discuss the importance of identifying and assessing mild cognitive impairment and determining which patients are most at risk of progressing to Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, they address the role of blood biomarkers in this assessment and the eligibility criteria for these new medications.
