Doctors trial £100 blood test that could transform how NHS detects Alzheimer’s

Doctors in the UK have launched a clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of a £100 blood test in detecting Alzheimer's disease. The trial will involve more than 1,000 patients with suspected dementia, recruited from memory clinics across the country. The aim is to determine whether the blood test can provide faster and more accurate diagnoses, leading to better care for those found to have the condition. The trial represents a potential breakthrough in the early detection of Alzheimer's, which could have significant implications for the National Health Service (NHS) and the treatment of this devastating disease.
