Bringing together clinicians and researchers in the UK working on frontotemporal dementia and associated disorders.

FTDUK is co-ordinated by Professor Jonathan Rohrer (University College London), Professor James Rowe (University of Cambridge), Dr Kathryn Bowles (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Jenna Gregory (University of Aberdeen).

We have been running FTD UK since 2011 and apart from a brief hiatus during the Covid pandemic we have continued to arrange an annual meeting. The meeting remains free to attend and will next be in Cambridge in May 2027  – registration will open in early 2027.

We run an Early Career Researcher prize for FTD researchers – this is open to any researcher who is a research assistant, PhD student or postdoctoral researcher within 5 years of completion of their PhD. We are very thankful to the Alzheimer’s Society who have funded these awards since their inception.
