Improving post diagnostic support in #dementia. Collaborative research led overall by @UniofNewcastle. Implementation led by @UCL_PCPH. Funded by @alzheimerssoc

[PriDem: tailored, local, timely dementia support @PriDemProject]

Our final @PriDemProject newsletter! Message from our Chief Investigator @GretaRait1 and a taster of our findings. Massive thanks to all participants, the research team past and present, @alzheimerssoc and our very special Clinical Dementia Leads 🙌🤩💙

[Kerryn Husk @kerrynhusk]

Excellent study being led by @sgriffiths_6 - looking for social prescribers, GPs, practice nurses, care co-ordinators, dementia advisors, health and wellbeing coaches...

[Dr Sarah Griffiths @sgriffiths_6]

⭐️ Another @PriDemProject paper in @BMJ_Open ⭐️

Intervention to improve dementia support was feasible and acceptable, as were our evaluation methods.

Inclusion of people with dementia in research - accessibility and relationship building are key.

Delighted that our latest ⁦@PriDemProject⁩ paper has been published. I wrote this on retreat with ⁦@sgriffiths_6⁩ and ⁦@KatieflanaganPC⁩ just before going on mat leave, so feels a real achievement to have it out just before I return. https://t.co/fnpMIRc9dt

🎉 New @PriDemProject paper published! 🎉
Well done team, especially @ejmspencer.

Access to personalised dementia care planning improved when GP practices were supported by Clinical Dementia Lead.

We are so pleased to share these short animations, sharing some key @PriDemProject findings. Please share!

[UCL IEHC @UCL_IEHC]

Over 900,000 people in the UK live with dementia.

The @PriDemProject evaluation study tested out a new approach to improving dementia care and support for people with dementia and carers following diagnosis.

These new, short animations introduce some of the findings ⬇️

What happens when a researcher and people with lived experience of #dementia collaborate to develop a research funding application? Our experiences now published here 👇

Very important study by @n_aker_ Please repost!

[Adam Smith @BetterResearch]

Interesting talk from Emily Spencer @PriDemProject at #33AEC. Great to see the project was so impactful in increasing the number of GP #dementia care plan reviews & improvements in what was in them. Although terrible that the baseline was only 37% when it’s been a requirement for many years

[Int Longevity Centre @ILCUK]

An interesting & comprehensive read - this month even better as there's an article on ILC's research on healthy ageing in Japan - and how Japan might learn lessons from the UK, for example about #DementiaCare from @alzheimerssoc funded @PriDemProject - see pages 54 to 55

New blog 📢 from PriDem researchers on strategies we used to include people living with dementia in our research. Feel free to share any tips you've used in your own research that we missed! #DementiaActionWeek @sgriffiths_6

[UCL IEHC @UCL_IEHC]

Just 2% of people living with dementia are registered with Join Dementia Research, which matches people to dementia studies in the UK.

How do we include people living with dementia in research?
