You’ll get to hear about the range of dementia research taking place across Northern Ireland, and also about delirium that can develop after surgery and how it could be linked with dementia. There will be time for questions in the live Q&A session.

The event will take place online on Zoom, and it is free to attend. It is open to everyone, and no previous knowledge of dementia or research is required.

Speakers

• Dr Emma Cunningham is a Lecturer and researcher based at Queen’s University Belfast. She studies delirium and how it is linked with changes in memory and thinking, and with dementia.
