Trial for blood tests that could revolutionise dementia diagnosis accepts first participants

The Blood Biomarker Challenge, which aims to find a blood test for dementia in the next five years, has started to accept its first patients through the door.

Just under a million people in the UK have some form of dementia. Many wait years for a diagnosis, if they get one at all.

Sky’s Science Correspondent Thomas Moore gets access to one of the research teams behind the trial that is "revolutionising" the diagnosis of dementia.
