Be Part of a Revolutionary Dementia Study!

Surrey is calling for 200 passionate volunteers to participate in a "groundbreaking" research study aimed at transforming how we diagnose dementia. This study explores the potential of blood tests in the early detection of memory-related disorders, setting a revolutionary precedent in the medical field.

Who Can Participate?

Are you 45 or older? If you’ve been referred to the Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust or live in Surrey experiencing memory issues, this opportunity is for you! Your participation could make a significant impact in the fight against dementia.

Why This Study Matters!

Known as the Read-Out study, this innovative trial boasts a high accuracy rate and can identify various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Professor Ramin Nilforooshan, a leading consultant psychiatrist, emphasizes the critical nature of early diagnosis. He states, "Early diagnosis is key to improving the lives of people with dementia. It gives individuals the chance to plan their futures, manage finances, or perhaps fulfill that long-awaited dream vacation."

What Does Participation Involve?

As a participant, you will only need to provide a single 20ml blood sample along with your medical history. It’s a small step that could lead to monumental changes in dementia care.

The Next Step in Dementia Research!

This study reflects a broader initiative by the trust’s research and development team, who are also diving into new clinical trials aimed at not just diagnosing but also slowing or altering the course of dementia. Join us in this life-changing research and help pave the way for a brighter future for thousands!
