Josie Prynn
I am a Wellcome funded PhD fellow through the CREATE PhD programme. I am researching the epidemiology and lived experience of dementia in rural Uganda to inform strategies for both improving the quality of life for people with dementia and their caregivers, and prevent dementia in future generations. I am an SpR in Geriatric Medicine and have a passion for the health of older people generally, and dementia and disability in particular, in diverse populations.
