ReMind UK works in collaboration with South West Dementia Brain Bank (SWDBB) at Southmead Hospital Bristol, where the brain tissue analysis is performed.
- SWDBB keeps a register of donors who have given their consent for their brain to be donated after they pass way.
- Both donors with a diagnosis of dementia and those without are needed to further dementia research.
- Funeral arrangements are not delayed by brain donation and there is no cost to the donor’s family.
- After analysis, the donor’s family can request an accurate diagnosis of the cause of dementia.
