The Scottish Brain Health Register: to understand population level trends in brain health, ease research participation and improve clinical care

[Scottish Brain Health Register 📔 @ScotBHR]

Great to see notice of @sdrc_research led @ScotBHR as major part of the UK Register ecosystem - playing big part in challenge of helping people get involved in #BrainHealth research. Thanks @alzscot @OfficialNIHR @DementiasUK @ARUKscientist @The_MRC @alzheimerssoc @beatdementia

[EPAD @IMI_EPAD]

On 9 January, the National Institute for Health Research brought together an expert group to hold a workshop on research registries. It was a great opportunity to showcase @IMI_EPAD.

New SDRC blog! ✍️📰

We are continuing with our Research Involvement blog series, where volunteer participants share their experiences of research and give tips and advice for researchers.
This blog is from Eileen Penman, a participant in @IMI_EPAD https://t.co/g3AyJ52MzW

10 days isolation over from contracting #covid - 2 trivial headaches, 4 paracetamol & coughed twice - Why - because I’m vaccinated. Compare my journey with high profile deaths over last 48 hours. 3 reasons - I’m vaccinated, vaccine works & I follow evidence @scotgov @jasonleitch

[Scottish Dementia Research Consortium (SDRC) @sdrc_research]

Attention all SDRC members that are also early career researchers ‼️

Please check your email inbox for questionnaire we'd like you to complete, which will help us best support you.

It is only 3 questions and should take less than 30 seconds

Thank you

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

[Craig Ritchie @craig_ritchie68]

In the face of these challenging times we must do all we can to maintain the momentum we’d been developing in Dementia and Brain Health Research. The reality is we NEED money and that is now so much harder to secure! Please help and share this with your friends & family. Thanks!

@psychinthecity_ @kgambierross Hi, @stina_saunders would be a good contact here!

[Scottish Brain Health Register 📔 @ScotBHR]

@mdr107 @KatWilkinson4 @elaineahpmh @amy_dalrymple @alzscot @FocusOnDementia @ihubscot @online_his @AlzScotDRC @NRS_NDN A lot of these projects can sound similar, but in the end they are connected, because researchers across Scotland talk to each other often! It's great you have decided to take part in the Tissue Bank 👍🏻

[Scottish Brain Health Register 📔 @ScotBHR]

@mdr107 @KatWilkinson4 @elaineahpmh @amy_dalrymple @alzscot @FocusOnDementia @ihubscot @online_his Hi Martin, thank you for getting in touch! Just to say, it sounds like you have signed up for the Brain Tissue Bank, which is a research study run by @AlzScotDRC and @NRS_NDN - the Brain Register is a bit different, because it's designed to help get people involved in studies.

[PREVENT Dementia @AD_PREVENT]

Tonight, 8.30pm on @BBCOne #Wales and @BBCiplayer

Shane Williams explores the research investigating contact sports, head injuries and risk for #neurodegenerative diseases in professional athletes

With @craig_ritchie68 @CenDemPrevent and @WillStewNeuro @GlasgowTBI

[Scottish Brain Health Register 📔 @ScotBHR]

Spread the word! #BrainHealthScotland

[Craig Ritchie @craig_ritchie68]

Wonderful opportunity for executive level role in the newly established #BrainHealthScotland - leading the coordination of all the fantastic assets we have in Scotland to defeat Dementia ⁦@sdrc_research⁩ ⁦@alzscot⁩ ⁦⁦@scotgovhealth⁩ https://t.co/pNHoGIVZI6

Watch this space! We are working on some important pieces of research that will help us understand the best ways to offer research to everyone 📔

[Alzheimer Europe @AlzheimerEurope]

At the Government Expert meeting we are hearing from @lewiskillin on the importance of dementia registries in relation to dementia research. @ScotBHR

[Scottish Brain Health Register 📔 @ScotBHR]

And if you can't access the paper, the BBC article about it is here: https://t.co/r8BULQZg1H

[Scottish Brain Health Register 📔 @ScotBHR]

🤝Proud to support this buddy programme! People from SBHR were invited to come and see what dementia researchers get up to, and in turn they gave an important insight into their lived experiences and priorities. The published paper is here:

[Craig Ritchie @craig_ritchie68]

Please please please [1] Find 10 minutes to complete this survey [2] Retweet and [3] Sit back & wait for the results. Outcomes for Alzheimer’s treatment trials must reflect people’s own hopes and goals. With @ARUKscientist we are targeting at least 50,000 completed surveys! TXS

[Craig Ritchie @craig_ritchie68]

Heard yesterday that last month was Scotland’s best month ever for recruitment to @beatdementia - this is *the* best way to connect people in Scotland to the highest quality dementia & brain health research - let’s build momentum - this is just the start! @alzscot @sdrc_research

[Scottish Dementia Research Consortium (SDRC) @sdrc_research]

Scottish researchers collaborate more frequently within the UK than any other single country but collectively we work more often with international researchers as seen in the below graph

This shows we are embedded within the global dementia and brain health research environment

[Craig Ritchie @craig_ritchie68]

So - are you sitting down? The more research you do the more likely you are to develop better treatments & care. Big thank you to all clinical colleagues who support dementia and brain health research - those who don’t eh - why not? @sdrc_research @beatdementia @NHSResearchScot

[Edinburgh Imaging 💙 @EdinUniImaging]

Edinburgh has now scanned its first participant for the @IMI_AMYPAD PNHS study - delighted to be involved in this collaborative research initiative. https://t.co/NVU8m55Olb @CenDemPrevent @AlzScotDRC #DementiaAwarenessWeek

Annual Conference 2019 - SDRC. Fantastic that we are a key part of this day and this consortium. https://t.co/fUj0HWhj6z

[ADI @AlzDisInt]

@AD_PREVENT is running around the globe to fund #dementia research. They will run a combined total of 40,075km - the equivalent of running around the equator! Email [email protected] to find out how you can get involved in this great project & PREVENT dementia @craig_ritchie68
