World Alzheimer's month has taken place every 21 September for the past eight years. From the first occasion in 2012, its aim is to raise awareness around dementia.
As an international campaign, HCA Healthcare UK is able to provide several areas of medical expertise around Alzheimer's and its effects on dementia care.
From hydrocephalus - which is excess fluid on the brain to electroencephalogram (EEG) - which records electrical activity in the brain, we have gathered together information which you may find useful for yourself, a member of your family or a friend.
