Dr Danielle Newby, Post Doctoral Researcher, Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford. My research is focused on using existing data such as GP records to find drugs used to treat other diseases such as hypertension that could be used for dementia prevention and the possibility of dementia prevention using repurposed drugs - @Danielle_Newby
Martin Knapp, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy, London School of Economics. I am Professor of Health and Social Care Policy & Professorial Research Fellow in the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC; formerly PSSRU). Since 2009, I have also been Director of the School for Social Care Research, part of the NIHR. My main research interests are in the areas of social care, child and adult mental health, dementia and autism. Much of my work uses economic arguments and evidence to inform policy discussion and influence practice development. My research has wide-ranging impacts on policy and practice in a number of fields - @Knappem

Leah Hewer-Richards, PhD Student, University of Southampton - I am researching the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of continence care in residential care homes for people with a dementia. I will be looking at how fears around contamination may have changed continence care practices, particularly in relation to restricted access to PPE. I will also be looking at stigma associated with continence care and working within a care home during the pandemic - @leahlearns_
Dr Rachel Daly, Professional and Practice Development Facilitator, Dementia UK - I am leading an Appreciative Inquiry study to understand the everyday decisions that people living with dementia and communication difficulties make and share in care homes. Also how and with whom they share those decisions. Participants (people living with dementia and staff and family care partners) designed and implemented interventions to maintain and improve shared everyday decision-making practice - @dementiaventure
Dr Alys Griffiths, Senior Research Fellow, Leeds Beckett University (now at University of Liverpool) I do care homes research, including a secondment as an embedded researcher in a care home one day per week. I'm interested in outcome measures, from the perspective of their development and validation, and ensuring their appropriate use, allowing people with dementia the chance to participate in research wherever possible - @alysgriffiths_

Dr Amanda Heslegrave, Senior Research Fellow, UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL. I collaborate with clinical researchers to measure biomarkers of neurodegeneration in a variety of biofluids, most topical right now are blood biomarkers which we are able to measure with the use of super sensitive assay technology - @ajh1269
Dr Josie Jenkinson, Consultant Psychiatrist for Older People, Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I am an NHS doctor and researcher, focusing on long-term specialist continuing care and health services research.
