• Research summary

  This study will set up a pilot Brain Longevity Clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. The focus will be on:
  • testing feasibility
  • developing an operating model
  • seeing a small number of patients (n=10) with a range of chronic neurological conditions and lifestyle habits.

  We will collect data on patient experience and longitudinal changes in patient biomarkers. Throughout this, the focus will be on which elements of the clinic provide the most benefit and could be scaled (eventually) into cost-effective NHS care.
