Practical Neuroscience of Dementia (CLNE0030)

In this module (given you already have a basic understanding of dementia) you will gain advanced skills and proficiency in the practical aspects of dementia neuroscience. The emphasis is on developing expertise in assessing patients with cognitive symptoms in general and on the diagnosis of key specific cognitive syndromes. In addition, you will gain insights into important practical issues that arise in the management of patients with dementia including therapeutic options, ethical and legal aspects. Sessions will be led by senior cognitive neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists and other clinical professionals (e.g. speech and language therapist; nurse specialist). The module takes an interactive, active learning approach, using a combination of videos and tutorial workshops.
