Aim:

The implementation of dementia research into health and social care practice. 

Workshop:

In 2015 we hosted Colin Capper, Head of Research and Development for the Alzheimer’s Society to speak on the Society’s R&D focus and the launch of their new Implementation Grant Scheme.

We also invited attendees to:

• Present findings of completed clinically focused research projects related to dementia which may have been undertaken as part of a postgraduate degree (Masters or PhD) or as part of clinical research.
• Present work undertaken within organisations or teams within health and social care to promote innovative ways of supporting and caring for people living with dementia and their carers and families.
• Present novel and innovative approaches to communicating research related to supporting and caring for people with dementia.
