Very happy to have passed my #PhD upgrade yesterday!
There were a lot of helpful comments and suggestions that will help improve my PhD project to explore the use of technology in monitoring awareness in severe dementia. #phdchat #AcademicChatter

Had a lovely time presenting some of my PhD work on the acceptability and feasibility of using monitoring technology in people with severe #dementia at the #EAPC2023

Thank you @FawnHarrad and @CRN_WMid for inviting me to talk about my PhD project on the acceptability and feasibility of using monitoring tech in severe #dementia.
I really enjoyed the talks and hope to share more results next year when the project is completed! #ENRICHAgeing

[Fawn Harrad-Hyde @FawnHarradHyde]

#ENRICHAgeing Last but certainly not least @jechan213 discusses his PhD work exploring the use of monitoring tech in measuring levels of awareness in people with dementia. Key finding = importance of establishing good rapport with professionals who may support use of this tech.

[Fawn Harrad-Hyde @FawnHarradHyde]

New open access paper in @PalliativeMedJ

What might an optimal emotional disclosure intervention for people with advanced disease look like?

Our review unpicks the evidence to identify key factors to consider, inc. flexibility & safe environments 🔑

[Justin Chan @jechan213]

One of my goals is to engage in more dementia research beyond my PhD & my blog on a meta-review looking at the moral barriers & facilitators that physicians encounter when talking about #AdvanceCarePlanning for people with #dementia is out now!

"An open, safe and honest discussion about #AdvanceCarePlanning is needed, including the detrimental effect it may have on physician’s job satisfaction in the long term."
