New paper led by @denpru-qm.bsky.social brings together 40 dementia experts – including ARUK’s Policy team – to agree on key things decision makers need to do to help cut dementia risk. #denpruQM
How can policy reduce dementia risk?

We convened a panel of experts to develop policy recommendations for dementia risk reduction, refining them through a modified-Delphi process.

The final result is the Nottingham consensus, published today in @natrevneurol.nature.com 👇
