Digital Dementia MasterClass 1
The Digital Dementia MasterClass is a new eight-module online educational programme from Neurology Academy, developed for healthcare professionals working across dementia diagnosis, treatment and care.
This digital MasterClass is designed to reflect the rapidly evolving dementia landscape, the programme brings together leading experts from across the UK and Ireland to explore contemporary dementia practice – from early diagnosis and clinical syndromes through to biomarkers, neuroimaging, management, advanced care, brain health and future directions in dementia services.
Delivered live online across eight afternoon sessions between September 2026 and April 2027, the MasterClass combines expert presentations, case-based discussion and interactive learning to support practical application in day-to-day clinical practice.
What will the programme cover?
Topics across the eight modules include:
- Diagnosing dementia, clinical syndromes and Alzheimer’s disease
- Dementia subtypes and complex presentations
- Biology of dementia and biomarkers
- Assessment and neuroimaging in practice
- Managing dementia across the disease course
- Dementia care across different clinical settings
- Advanced dementia, ethics and end-of-life care
- Brain health, prevention and future directions in dementia care

- On-demand access to recordings
Can't make every live session? Don't let that stop you. Read below to see why you should still join.
Whilst we would always encourage delegates to attend the live sessions where possible, we have designed the programme so that those accessing the recordings are not disadvantaged. The educational content is delivered through expert presentations and faculty discussion, all of which will be recorded and available on demand.
There will be some interactive elements, including case discussions, audience questions and occasional breakout activities. However, these are intended to enhance the learning experience rather than deliver essential content that would be missed by watching the recordings. Where breakout discussions take place, the faculty will always bring delegates back together to summarise the key learning points, ensuring that anyone watching on demand still benefits from those discussions.
You'll also have 12 months' access to each recorded module, allowing you to revisit sessions at a time that suits you.
Many of our delegates choose a blended approach—joining live when they can and catching up on recordings when work commitments prevent attendance—and they continue to gain significant value from the programme.
