Personal Hero
Adam Smith
Words of Strength
Influencing policy, real-world change
Vision
The economic implications for dementia are staggering. Prioritization of available funds for service or research has failed to meet this challenge. By building a generation of leaders in the economics of brain health, we will develop evidence to lobby at the highest levels to ensure people with dementia have access to the best available resources.
Strategy
Dominic runs a team focused on the economics of brain health, conducting research with national and international policymakers on the value of dementia prevention, acquired brain injury, successful aging and non-pharmacological approaches.
Motivation
Dominic is motivated by the vision of a world where people living with dementia will be supported by systems which provide the highest potential quality of life. Dominic is dedicated to health economics research to disrupt societal inefficiencies which may reduce the benefits available to those affected by dementia.
