My workday starts with checking my voicemails and emails to address outstanding queries. I then meet an Atlantic Fellow from the Global Brain Health Institute to discuss the nature of our care and our work in the Regional Specialist Memory Clinic. I gain a lot from meeting with fellows from all over the world and hearing their approaches to brain health promotion and dementia.
