Island GP’s vision
for elderly
There can’t be many people who would describe dementia
as their “passion” - but that’s exactly how Island GP Dr
Michele Legg refers to the debilitating condition.
As the Lead GP at Ryde’s Tower House surgery and recently-appointed
Chair of the Island’s Clinical Commissioning Group, mother-of-two
Dr Legg is keen to raise awareness of dementia and Alzheimers, and
find ways of easing the burden for sufferers and their carers. Jackie
McCarrick has been finding out what drives her enthusiasm.
