In many of our podcasts we discuss research studies and the work of PhD students. Today we are looking at what for many is one step earlier in the path to academia and focusing on MSc programmes. MSc programmes can act as a tool for existing and new health and social care professionals who want to gain a specific qualification in working with people who have dementia, for others who work with people with dementia, and for anyone looking for a path into academia. Megan O'Hare talks to Catherine Quinn and Dr Ana Barbosa from the University of Bradford. Discussing their new MSc in Advanced Dementia Studies programme, and explain more generally what these programmes are about, who they are for, and what people will get out of them.

Megan O'Hare talks to Ivanna Pavisic and Antoinette O’Connor about their different projects relating to ‘Longitudinal research study of familial Alzheimer’s disease' and the changes that occur at this clinically silent stage. Ivanna and Antoinette both work at the University College London, Dementia Research Centre which has had a longstanding research programme in autosomal dominantly inherited familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD) led by Professor Nick Fox. In this podcast they talk about how the study provides a unique opportunity to explore the presymptomatic period of AD as pathogenic mutations are effectively 100% penetrant and the age at onset is relatively consistent within families and they also talk about the use and need for reliable biomarkers and cognitive tests.
