Dementia Action Week – Dementia research and me

What’s it about?

We are working to improve the lives of people with dementia and their families, and we think dementia research is better if it involves people living with dementia and their supporters. We would like the local community to have the opportunity to hear about research happening in the South West and help us make sure future research focuses on what matters to people living with and supporting those with dementia.

Researchers will be there to share what they are doing and to listen to what you think research should focus on in future.

You can also sign up to be involved in future research.

Who is leading the event?

Katie Breheny, Lis Grey and Natasha Woodstoke from NIHR ARC West. This event is in collaboration with the Bristol Health Partners Dementia Health Integration Team (HIT).

Who is it for?

This event is open to anyone interested in dementia and we would particularly welcome people with dementia, their family and friends, and people who work with people with dementia. It will be of particular interest to people who want to learn more about dementia research and how they can get involved.
