Professor Jenny van der Steen, Radboudumc Alzheimer Center and Department of Primary and Community Care, Radboud university medical center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Prof Jenny van der Steen is an epidemiologist and researcher in dementia care, in particular international studies with a focus on end of life.

Strengths I bring: International perspective, connections with international networks of researchers and professionals in dementia palliative care, dissemination of activities and outcomes.

What I would like the network to achieve: A better understanding of how to best connect people with various experiences and background and communities working on improving life with dementia up until the end of life.

Generalist medical departments in the Netherlands typically work with multidisciplinary teams in conducting healthcare research including research focused on persons with (young-onset) dementia and frail older people. https://www.radboudumc.nl/afdelingen/geriatrie/radboudumc-alzheimer-centrum (Dutch only)
