Caring for People With Dementia

Dr Stephen Katona

Dr Katona, a GP and carer, shares some practical tips and insights into looking after someone with dementia and explores how we might reduce the chances of getting dementia ourselves.

This talk will cover sepsis prevention and detection as dementia is three times more common after an episode of sepsis. Stephen will also mention the importance of looking after our immune system to control viral infections such as the John Cunningham virus which can cause dementia when our immune system becomes suppressed.
