All About DEMENTIA - Memory Loss, Diagnosis & Hope for the Future

Nearly one million people in the UK are living with dementia, yet the condition remains widely misunderstood.

Dementia is not one single disease, and it is not an inevitable part of ageing. While there is currently no cure, we now understand far more about its causes, the factors that may influence risk and the emerging developments offering genuine reason for hope.

Join REMEDI HEALTH for the next event in our All About series: an accessible and informative evening exploring memory, cognition and dementia.

Hosted by Deborah Evans, Founder and Clinical Director of REMEDI HEALTH, the evening will feature specialist speaker Dr Shehram Moghul, a Consultant Psychiatrist specialising in later-life mental health, with particular expertise in memory problems, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Together, we will explore:

• What dementia is—and how it differs from Alzheimer’s disease
• The different causes and types of dementia
• How common dementia is and who it affects
• The difference between everyday forgetfulness and changes that may need investigation
• Early signs involving memory, language, judgement, mood and everyday functioning
• How dementia is assessed and diagnosed
• Why a timely and accurate diagnosis matters
• Whether dementia can be prevented or delayed
• The relationship between cardiovascular health and brain health
• The influence of blood pressure, cholesterol and blood-sugar levels
• Women, menopause, HRT and what the evidence currently tells us
• The role of lifestyle, hearing, social connection and mental wellbeing
• The latest developments in diagnosis and treatment
• What emerging research could mean for the future of dementia care

There is no guaranteed way to prevent dementia, and some risk factors - such as age and genetics - cannot be changed. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that many people may be able to reduce their risk or delay its onset.

What protects your heart can also help protect your brain. During the evening, we will discuss the practical, sustainable actions that can support long-term cognitive health - without miracle supplements, quick fixes or unrealistic promises.

For the first time, new treatments have been developed that act on one of the underlying disease processes involved in early Alzheimer’s disease, rather than only helping to manage symptoms.

These treatments are not cures, are only suitable for carefully selected people and require specialist assessment and monitoring. However, they represent an important scientific step forward.

Researchers are also investigating new approaches to earlier diagnosis and more personalised treatment. Dr Moghul will explain what is changing, what remains uncertain and why early diagnosis is becoming increasingly important.

This event may be particularly helpful if:

• You are concerned about changes in your own memory or cognition
• You have noticed changes in a partner, parent or family member
• You are supporting someone living with dementia
• Dementia has affected your family and you want to understand your own risk
• You are interested in protecting your long-term brain health
• You want a clear and balanced explanation of emerging treatments

No previous medical knowledge is required. The evening will be informative, practical and sensitive to those personally affected by dementia.

Date: Thursday 8 October 2026
Time: 7pm–9pm
Doors open: 6.45pm
Venue: The Wessex Centre, 8a The Close, Winchester Cathedral, Winchester

The presentations will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions.

We hope you will join us for an evening designed to replace some of the fear and uncertainty surrounding dementia with greater understanding, practical guidance and realistic hope for the future.
