Alzheimer’s Disease: An Overview

This course provides an overview of Alzheimer's Disease from both a clinical management and a drug development perspective.
Healthcare's teaching team who are all specialist physicians in this therapy area, offer a broad introduction to Alzheimer's and allow delegates to develop a general understanding of the disease and its neurobiology.

Clinical presentation and disease staging is discussed, followed by a review of pharmacological and other treatment options. Delegates benefit from a valuable, 'real life' perspective from a patient and carer telling us about the impact and issues of living with Alzheimer's Disease. The training concludes with a discussion on clinical trial design issues and a review of ongoing research.

This course provides an excellent grounding for people new to this area of medicine. Those who have already been working in this field will enhance their knowledge and benefit from the clinical perspective provided by the programme.
