Jules Montague is a consultant neurologist in London, a job she combines with work in Mozambique and India each year. Originally from a seaside town in Ireland, Jules studied Medicine at Trinity College, Dublin. Her clinical sub-specialty is young-onset dementia - patients who develop memory and behavioural changes as early as their twenties. Some of her most challenging work is in the intensive care setting where she sees patients who have suffered catastrophic brain injuries. She writes regularly for the Guardian and her work has also been featured in Granta, Mosaic, Aeon, NME, The Verge, the Independent, the Lancet, and on the BBC.
