Defeating Dementia in Downs Syndrome

/in , , ,

Cambridge university are working in partnership with the Downs Syndrome Association to research and identify early signs that may indicate Azheimer’s disease.

The study is looking for new participants from anywhere in the UK to take part. Participants must be aged 25 or over and have Down’s Syndrome.

This important on-going research looks into the links between Down’s Syndrome and Alzheimers disease and help to identify early signs. Your input could really make a difference for generations to come!

More information can be found on the Cambridge University website: https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/defeating-dementia-in-downs-syndrome

If you or someone you support is interested in participating in the study and would like to talk to someone, please call our Trustee and parent-carer Mark Johnson on 07957 859283
