Tuesday 28 April 2026: Dementia – Brain Health

Come along to find out about the research called OMNI “Oral Microbiome & Nitrates” for Brain Health, which is being used to try and help improve the lives of people living with Alzheimer’s Disease. We will look at Nitric Oxide, which is a molecule in our bodies that helps keep our cardiovascular system healthy, and the oral microbiome, which is the community of microorganisms – mostly bacteria- living in the mouth. Come along to find out more about these topics and what the science says you can do to improve them.

Tuesday 26 May 2026: Dementia – Sundowning & Shadowing

You may notice that the person you care for becomes more confused and/or agitated in the late afternoon and evening. This is known as “Sundowning”. Learn about the steps you can take to help reduce sundowning, for their benefit as well as your own. Shadowing is a form of behaviour in which a person with dementia follows their caregiver around. Find out how to manage this behaviour by gaining an understanding of why this occurs.
