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!

Nathan Davies @profnathandavies.bsky.social · 28d

So pleased to see the importance of rural care inequalities highlighted at the start of the @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social conference! So often ignored rural inequalities are a massive problem we must start to look at! #ASAC2025
