This week our panel of NHS clinicians are in the studio to discuss their stories of becoming 'research active'. With advise for others and details on how they are now working to support and encourage others on the front line of NHS care. As the NIHR in the UK, and research bodies in other countries work to encourage more clinical staff to become research active. This podcast provides information for clinicians from all professions and backgrounds, hoping to inspire the next generation of Principle Investigators. Piers Kotting is back in the hot seat with Dr Sylvie Halsey and Dr Zoe Clough from the Wessex Deanery and Dr Leonidas Chouliaras from the University of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust.

UK Dementia Care Research Summit 2020
March 2, 2020
•51m
In this podcast we reflect on the recent UK Dementia Care Research Summit 2020 hosted by Alzheimer’s Society, National Institute for Health Research and Economic & Social Research Council. Discussing the highlights, outcomes and next step (which we think are probably applicable in many countries). The dementia research community is driven by a desire to make positive change for people affected by dementia. Great progress has been made so far but change is still needed. Our host Adam Smith talks with Hannah Churchill from Alzheimer’s Society, Dr Tamara Backhouse from the University of East Anglia and Dr Keir Yong from University College London. Footage from the summit can be viewed on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AlzheimersSociety/videos For details of all the speakers and the programme visit: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/sites/default/files/2020-01/Programme_A5_ONLINE.pdf Adam Smith the chair of this podcast has also written a blog with his top 10 suggestions for next steps, and what he thought were the main lessons learned and take-aways form the day: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-reflecting-on-the-first-uk-dementia-care-research-summit/ You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk.

Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Dementia
March 30, 2020
•35m
In the UK there are 850,000 people living with dementia, and approximately 90% of people with dementia are affected by neuropsychiatric symptoms at some stage. This term generally refers to things like agitation, hallucinations, delusions, and depression that occur as a result of neurodegenerative disease. Megan O'Hare interviews three researchers who work in and around the field of psychiatry and dementia. Talking specifically about apathy, depression and treatments for the various symptoms. We also delve into the impact of the severe side effects that drug treatments can cause and how safer drugs can be developed. Dr Byron Creese, Senior Research Fellow at University of Exeter covers the range of symptoms and how transcriptomics may hold the key to developing good drugs. Miguel Vasconcelos Da Silva and Isabel Foote discuss their nursing backgrounds and the overlaps and differences between depression and apathy and how a clinical definition for apathy is needed. You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk.
