This week's podcast was recorded at the Centre for Dementia Studies at the University of Sussex. Megan O'Hare is joined by Dr Ben Hicks and Dr Laura Hughes to discuss broadly the themes of inequalities in dementia care and quality of life and specifically look at the DeterMIND programme. Evidence has emerged of major inequalities in care for dementia, driven by factors including ethnicity, whether your care is self-funded or paid for by local authorities and whether you are diagnosed earlier or later. DeterMIND is designed to address critical, fundamental and as yet unanswered questions about inequalities, outcomes and costs following diagnosis with dementia. These answers are needed to improve the quality of care and therefore the quality of life. Join the podcast to hear an interesting discussion on the benefits and perceived downsides of an early diagnosis, results from Ben's PhD work on how different populations manage a clinical diagnosis and the way care homes can enhance the quality of life for people with dementia.

In this podcast we welcome academics and industry to discuss the Dementia Consortium and drug discovery, from the basics of target validation to the question you always wanted to ask big pharma - what is their motivation for investing! The panel is made up of Dr Declan Jones and Dr John Isaac both from Johnson & Johnson, one of the seven industry partners of the Dementia Consortium, Professor Paul Whiting, the CSO at the Drug Discovery Institute at UCL and James Connell the Research Manager at Alzheimer's Research UK who coordinates the Dementia Consortium. The Dementia Consortium is a private-charity partnership between Alzheimer’s Research UK, Evotec and the pharmaceutical companies Abbvie, Astex Pharmaceuticals, Eisai, Johnson & Johnson, Lilly and MSD. The Consortium provides drug discovery resources, project management, industry expertise and tools as well as full funding support for projects.
