This is a great example of the systems leadership role charities can and do play to drive innovation, collaborate, challenge and demonstrate what the future could look like. As @FiCarragher says, proud to be part of it.
A simple blood test for dementia could revolutionise diagnosis and lead to better support, care and treatment. The Blood Biomarker Challenge seeks to get a blood test into the NHS and I’m so proud @alzheimerssoc @AlzResearchUK @PostcodeLottery are making this happen #dementia
