Mukaetova-Ladinska, Professor in Old Age Psychiatry, University of Leicester, Honorary Consultant, Young Onset Dementia Assessment Service (YODAS), Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, Leicester Abstract: Getting an accurate and timely diagnosis of dementia is important. In younger people, not only this can take longer, but many of their presenting subjective cognitive complaints are treatable. I will present both our clinical and research experience on aiding the dementia diagnosis in younger people. This will cover improving the diagnostic pathway, from primary care referrals to secondary care diagnosis. At the same time, I will reflect on the potential differences in the diagnostic pathway between younger and older people with dementia.
