On 10 of March, the Liverpool Dementia & Ageing Research Forum, set up and run by Dr Clarissa Giebel from the University of Liverpool and the NIHR ARC NWC, welcomed over 200 attendees to hear about and discuss What really matters to people with dementia. Prof. Siobhan Reilly (University of Bradford) and Dr Andrew Harding (Lancaster University) shared some of their findings on their research into developing a Core outcome set of things which really matter to people with dementia, as opposed to an abundance of existing tools which do not seem to capture exactly what it is that people with dementia want and need. This was followed by a fabulous discussion with attendees (carers, clinicians, academics, service providers, members of the public), and if you were unlucky enough to miss the talk and information about their Core outcome set, have a look at the YouTube recording here: https://youtu.be/LmdVYq-Y8DU
The next free public Liverpool Dementia & Ageing Research Forum will take place on the 19 May from 1-2 pm (GMT), during Dementia Awareness Week, with Dr Richard Foster discussing how to reduce falls in older adults. Register here now:
