WINNER: Lilly UK & Dementias Platform UK and The Trials Delivery Framework, in collaboration with Greater Manchester MHFT, Oxford Health FT, University Hospitals Sussex FT and Sheffield Teaching Hospital FT: Improving Accurate, Early Diagnosis Of Alzheimer’s Disease Using Cerebral Spinal Fluid Testing

This ambitious national collaborative pilot involving Lilly UK, Dementias Platform UK, and four NHS trusts, seeks to deliver earlier and more precise Alzheimer’s Disease diagnoses through cerebral spinal fluid testing (CSF). Its further goal is to understand the costs and benefits of CSF testing in order to establish a framework for services across the NHS. Early diagnosis of AD allows patients and their caregivers to make informed decisions, plan ahead, and access suitable care, including clinical trials. Organisers believe that this transformative project has the potential to revolutionise the diagnostic landscape of AD in the UK, thereby improving outcomes for patients.
