PriDem: tailored, local, timely dementia support

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 🙌🤩💙

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

⭐️ 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. 👇bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/7/e…

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. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/7/e…

🎉 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. Read here: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/7/e… @UCL_PCPH @UCL_IEHC

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

What happens when a researcher and people with lived experience of #dementia collaborate to develop a research funding application? Our experiences now published here 👇 doi.org/10.1177/147130… (Spoiler: good things happen) @MarcellineRuss1 @Al_Richards_786 @UCL_PCPH @CAPS_UCL

Very important study by @n_aker_ Please repost!

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

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

End of study celebrations for the UCL @PriDemProject team. Cheers! We did it! 🎉

Are you a primary care clinician interested in doing a fully funded PhD? Great opportunities below, studying with us lovely bunch @UCL_PCPH. Please share!

Protocol for @PriDemProject published! 🙌 bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/8/e…

📢New @PriDem paper! Developing a primary care led intervention to improve post-diagnostic #dementia care. ➡️shorturl.at/mO238 We are currently in last stages of feasibility & implementation study, testing this intervention in real life practice. Watch this space! 👀
