LGH Clinical Associate Professor and geriatrician Dr George Razay will speak about dementia, it's impact on individuals, families and carers at a community talk on Friday, September 22.

Dr Razay will also touch on multi-therapies used in the treatment of the condition.

“If we are to prepare for this increase, it is vital we clear up some of the prevailing misconceptions about dementia,” he said.
