About Great Minds

The Great Minds is a group for volunteers from other health studies, interested in research and being matched with clinical trials to fast-track early diagnosis and treatments for dementia.

About Great Minds

The aim of the Great Minds is to speed the discovery of a cure for dementia by precision-matching volunteers with innovative clinical trials and medical research.

About Great Minds

We believe we can take years off trials and develop early therapies for dementia by matching pre-screened volunteers with experimental medicine studies.

About Great Minds

Great Minds is part of the Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) family, a multi-million pound public-private partnership which launched in 2014. DPUK is directed by Professor John Gallacher (University of Oxford) and is supported by an executive team of ten other representatives from our academic and industry partners.

About Great Minds

All medical research is reviewed by an independent group, called a Research Ethics Committee, to protect participants' interests. This study has been reviewed by the Oxford C NHS Research Ethics Committee.

About Great Minds

 

We would advise anyone who has a concern about their memory to discuss this with their GP. Many of us find that our memory becomes less reliable as we get older and it can be a symptom of a number of conditions.
