Great to hear from Dr Jo Rodda about her clinical experience of seeing inequalities in Kent which has many rural and coastal communities - Kent often seen as an affluent area but this is not the case for all in Kent!

Some of our PhD students will be focussing on rural and coastal communities and how they inexperience inequalities in dementia care - we will focus on how integrated care can support people in these communities!
