Dementia prevention, intervention, and care: 2024 report of the Lancet standing Commission The 2024 update of the Lancet Commission on dementia provides new hopeful evidence about dementia prevention, intervention, and care. As people live longer, the number of people who live with dementia continues to rise, even as the age-specific incidence decreases in high-income countries, emphasising the need to identify and implement prevention approaches. We have summarised the new research since the 2020 report of the Lancet Commission on dementia, prioritising systematic reviews and meta-analyses and triangulating findings from different studies showing how cognitive and physical reserve develop across the life course and how reducing vascular damage (eg, by reducing smoking and treating high blood pressure) is likely to have contributed to a reduction in age-related dementia incidence.

#HSR24 closes with a panel of funders and policy makers chaired by @aliepea.bsky.social - still many cautions and considerations for HSR in the digital age, but also so many opportunities… many of which have been highlighted by the fantastic presentations over the last three days!

With #HSR24 kicking off this week, be sure to check out the program and look out for the #AusHSI team as we showcase #digitalhealth, #implementationscience and #healtheconomics research across several talks over the 3 days of the conference. Check out our program highlights: bit.ly/aushsihsr24

NHS managers at (Agenda for Change) bands 6-8a line manage up to 80% of NHS people. These “frontline” leaders have an outsize influence on NHS performance. See eg: bcg.com/publications... by BCG.
I'm spending tomorrow with 4 NHS systems seeking ways to unleash the potential of frontline managers
