Professor Ramin Nilforooshan, consultant psychiatrist and director of research and development, said: "Early diagnosis is key to improving the lives of people with dementia."He added: "It gives people time to plan their lives, get their finances in order or maybe take a holiday they never had. "It takes away the uncertainty."Participants in the study will be required to provide a single 20ml blood sample, along with information on their medical history. The trust's research and development team is also involved in a new wave of clinical trials for treatments designed to slow or even modify the onset of dementia.Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
