Carol's passion is enabling and empowering the dementia community to find freedom and joy to live their best lives. Carol’s first career was as a PhD scientist, working in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in the pharmaceutical industry in the USA and UK. This culminated in a scientific lead role for a novel drug, tested in clinical studies costing> $700 million. When her Mum and Mother-in-law were diagnosed with dementia she founded a dementia holiday organisation, MindforYou. They proved anybody living at home with dementia can holiday, and presented robust evidence of the health and well-being benefits for both the person diagnosed and their family supporter. In 2023 she founded Sargent Group Consulting to provide choice, identifying personalised solutions to overcome barriers preventing the dementia community from holidaying, and supporting travel businesses to become dementia inclusive.

With over 30 years of experience as a General Practitioner and with Postgraduate Diplomas in Law, and Sport and Exercise Medicine, Dr Tom Adler is passionate about improving the health and well-being of our ageing population, and those with chronic disease and disabilities.
