June is Alzheimerโ€™s & Brain Awareness Month.
This month is a reminder of the importance of brain health, early detection, ongoing research, and compassionate care for those affected.
More than 55 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimerโ€™s, and every story matters. By supporting innovation in healthcare and diagnostics, we can help create a brighter future for patients, families, and caregivers.

Research has shown that changes in plasma or serum viscosity can appear years before a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma.
This highlights the importance of viscosity testing as an early indicator when investigating unexplained symptoms or abnormal blood results.

When investigating Hyperviscosity Syndrome, Plasma Viscosity and Serum Viscosity tests provide reliable and reproducible results.
These measurements play an important role in confirming or excluding abnormal blood viscosity in clinical practice.

1 in 3 people in the UK living with dementia do not have a diagnosis, 91% of people affected by dementia say there are benefits to getting a diagnosis. Give support to those who need it.
Letโ€™s use this week to raise awareness, support those affected, and push for earlier diagnosis and better care.

We were delighted to attend the Wales Business Awards 2026 alongside the Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government.
The evening was a great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, make new connections, and celebrate the achievements of businesses across Wales.
Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners.

Thank you to Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid for hosting such an excellent event.

Early diagnosis matters. Yet many people face long waits, and only a small percentage receive advanced diagnostic testing. Research is ongoing into simpler, more accessible tests, that could transform how we detect and manage conditions such as Alzheimerโ€™s disease and Vascular Dementia.

Why Plasma and Serum Viscosity Testing Matters in Waldenstrรถmโ€™s Macroglobulinemia
Waldenstrรถmโ€™s Macroglobulinemia causes overproduction of IgM antibodies, the largest immunoglobulin in the body.
High IgM levels can significantly increase blood viscosity, reducing blood flow and leading to Hyperviscosity symptoms.
Viscosity testing helps detect these changes early.

This yearโ€™s theme is Action: taking small steps for yourself, supporting others, and pushing for change in our communities.
Letโ€™s check in, speak up, and look out for one another, because when we act together, we make a bigger difference.
