Should prevention get more funding than cure in dementia research? Watch Sarah Page and Luis Tojo - recording from the live session held on 5th November 2025.

Debate Motion:

This House believes that prevention should receive more research funding than cure in dementia.

Prevention strategies, from lifestyle interventions to early detection, are increasingly recognised as being important in dementia policy. But should they take precedence over efforts to develop treatments or find a cure? This debate will explore whether shifting funding towards prevention is a smart investment or a risky diversion of resources.

Speaker For the Motion:

Sarah Page is Programme Lead for Occupational Therapy at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her work centres on dementia, later-life wellbeing, and person‑centred occupational approaches, especially exploring how everyday environments and routines support quality of life as dementia progresses.

Speaker Against the Motion:

Luis Tojo is Senior Commercial Manager at UCLPartners, specialising in health innovation and strategic partnerships. He works to accelerate translation of research into practice by brokering collaborations, supporting commercialisation, and helping navigate innovation pathways between NHS, academia, and industry.
