Words of Strength

Facilitation

Vision

To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, we need to explore what more we can do to prevent cognitive impairment. This should include the prevention not only of dementia but lesser degrees of cognitive impairment.

Strategy

Martin is a clinical neurologist with a particular focus on the diagnosis and care of young onset dementia. He is also supporting the engagement of patients and public with research via ‘Join Dementia Research’.

Motivation

Martin is exploring with GBHI the concept of a cognitive footprint to provide a methodology for maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative potential effects on cognition of any policy.
