About Me

I have always been the doctor who gravitated towards seeing the 80-year-old lady admitted to the emergency department with a fall at 2am, and am often protective of anyone under my care likely entering the last stages of life- taking on complex conversations with their families and making timely decisions about their treatment and care.

I have personal experience of family members living with Dementia and have seen the challenges they have faced first hand- living in a world not made for them and that does not cater to their needs.

My mission is to:

Educate

Healthcare Professionals on the importance of early Dementia diagnosis and recognition of dying

Empower

Patients and carers with the knowledge they need to navigate complex systems and take ownership of their healthcare journey

Create

Spaces for connection over shared experiences of death and dying and to facilitate innovation to solve problems in health and social care

Collaborate

With businesses, policy-makers and researchers across sectors to deliver change
