The Faculty of Health’s Wicking Dementia Research & Education Centre invites you to a free public forum on dementia and the brain.
There is growing concern that traumatic brain injury may increase risk of dementia. In particular, multiple concussions have been shown to increase the risk of a particular type of dementia called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Featuring national and international experts in the field, including Dr Vicky Johnson from the University of Pennsylvania (USA), Associate Professor Dara Dickstein from the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USA) and Professor Robert Vink from the University of South Australia.
The Forum will be hosted by Professor James Vickers from the Wicking Centre. Audience members will be invited to participate in a panel discussion at the conclusion of the presentations.
