May 14, (THEWILL) – In commemoration of the 2023 Dementia Week, Annomo Health, in collaboration with Loveday & Co, will present a groundbreaking webinar on understanding and managing dementia, featuring esteemed panellists from diverse backgrounds.
The informative and insightful session, which will hold on May 18, 2023, aims to shed light on the complexities of dementia, share valuable expertise, and explore innovative approaches to care and support.
Although, not a specific disease, dementia is a group of conditions characterised by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgement.
Panellists that will speak at the webinar include Dr. Arshad Rather and Dr. Conor Clerkin-Oliver.
Dr Rather, a renowned geriatrician at The London Clinic with extensive experience in old-age medicine, brings profound insights into the physical and mental health challenges faced by individuals with dementia.
He will discuss the medical aspects of dementia and the latest advancements in treatment options.
In addition, Dr. Conor Clerkin-Oliver, Dementia Research Physician at Recognition Health Brain and Mind Experts, will discuss new treatment advances in dementia management.
Both medical experts will delve into the latest research findings, therapeutic interventions, and potential breakthroughs on the horizon.
Speaking on the webinar, Chief Executive Officer of Annomo Health, Dr. Chichi Menakaya, who is also the host of the webinar, said Annomo Health and Loveday organised the webinar as part of their new series of webinars, ‘Stages of Ageing’, in order to empower the general public and create a more dementia-inclusive and friendly society.
Key discussion topics, according to Dr Menakaya, will include early detection and diagnosis of dementia; innovative treatment approaches and emerging therapies; and strategies for improving the quality of life for individuals with dementia.
Others are the role of specialised care facilities in dementia management and how to support caregivers and family members throughout the dementia journey.

It would be recalled that every year the Alzheimer’s Society runs Dementia Action Week to raise awareness of dementia.
The 2023 campaign runs from May 15 to 21, 2023, and is focusing on diagnosis to encourage people who are concerned that they or someone they know may be experiencing dementia symptoms to seek further help.
