Join Dr Megan O'Hare on the road at Surrey and Borders Partnership Foundation NHS Trust interviewing R&D Manager and PhD Student Jane Gregg and former guest Dr Josie Jenkinson.

They discuss Jane's PhD understanding how people perceive themselves and their future once they receive a diagnosis of dementia and how that links with service use in the NHS.

This far reaching discussion gives pause for thought and considers how research embedded within the NHS and healthcare can make a real difference.
