Susan Shenkin EuGMS - European Geriatric Medicine Society Neuroprogressive and Dementia Research Network 🌐 Robert Howard Thanks, interesting discussion. We’ve embedded a CGA for frailty syndromes alongside neuropsych/functional assessment within Tallaght University Hospital Foundation memory service in Dublin. Also, have a separate brain health clinic for those with MCI and SMC. Looking forward to sharing experiences at EUGMS
