This week regular Dementia Researcher blogger, Dr Clarissa Giebel, from University of Liverpool, leads a discussion on COVID-19 and Care Home research. The guests this week are: Adam Gordon, Professor of the Care of Older People at University of Nottingham. Adam is an NHS doctor, and his research focuses on Care of Older People, with a focus on care homes.

Paul Marlow, Carer and Research Champion. Paul cares for his mother who is living with dementia; and recently had first-hand experience of residential care. The Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone, but especially for people living in care homes, their families and the staff. Self-isolation and social distancing are essential tools in reducing the risk of infection, and research is important. Researchers have been working to understand the impact of the pandemic on dementia and residential care, how services can improve and learn lessons, how to deliver changes to safely and effectively and the impact on staff, carers and residents (to name just a few areas of focus). _________________________ You can find out more about our panellists, and their work on our website: https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk A transcript of this podcast is also available here https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-nihr-evidence-dementia-collection _________________________ Like what you hear?
