Hello Kyoto!

Well, this is exciting!  After many hours in the air I’ve arrived in Japan where I’ll be for a week or so, talking about Upstream’s work at the Alzheimer Disease International conference here in Kyoto, along with a few other meetings that will aim to share ideas around travelling well with dementia. The conference is an annual event which attracts around 3000 delegates from over 100 countries so I’m looking forward to lots of good conversations about putting people affected by dementia at the heart of service redesign.

This is my first visit to Japan so it'll be interesting to see the similarities and differences in transport processes between here and the UK.
