Disease modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease: Clinician perspectives

In recent years there have been exciting developments in the diagnosis and treatment of mild cognitive impairment and dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. Robust biomarkers and potentially disease modifying therapies are now available, with multiple other agents in clinical trials alongside on-going validation studies of blood-based biomarkers. Recent and probable future developments in the diagnosis and care of people with Alzheimer's disease pathology warrants serious re-evaluation of the structure and function of cognitive clinical services. Here we report recommendations from the November 2024 Brain Health Scotland roundtable discussion of opportunities and challenges for modern memory services.
