Join Megan O’Hare interviewing the panel for an insightful discussion on PPI in biomedical research. On previous podcasts, we have discussed the importance of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) – and the value it can add to research project development and also to researchers themselves, people living with dementia and their carers. Today’s podcast looks at PPI in biomedical research as there is a growing trend toward involving patients and public in lab-based projects. The panel – Dr Lindsey Sinclair, from Bristol University, Dr Claire Lancaster from Oxford University and Dr Martina Bocchetta from University College London, discuss how they have used PPI when developing their research projects and applying for funding and share tips on best places to seek out PPI help and involvement and what they have learned along the way.

In 2015 Professor Rossor from University College London and Professor Martin Knapp from The London School of Economics published a paper in the Lancet entitled ‘Can we model a cognitive footprint of interventions and policies to help to meet the global challenge of dementia?’ In this podcast Piers Kotting talks to Professor Rossor and Professor Parashkev Nachev exploring the concept of a ‘Cognitive Footprint’ and getting behind the follow-up research has already undertaken in this field, and plans for the new work recently funded by the Health Foundation.

Next Episode

This week Adam Smith is joined by three early career dementia researchers to discuss mental health struggles and self-care in academia. Are these problems that everyone goes through? Are there strategies that you can employ to help? We had so much to talk about... that we broke it down into two parts and this is part one. Those researchers are: Dr Katie Askew, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and owner of two house bunnies called Lola and Floki. Dr Isabel Castanho, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Exeter, and a practitioner of aerial yoga and a front line soldier in the battle against the Omnics (which in layman’s terms means she spends a lot of time playing video games) Last but not least we have Makis Tzioras who is a PhD student also from the University of Edinburgh. Panellists choose the title of each podcast and today is “If you can’t love yourself, then how the hell you gonna love your science?”: A semi-serious chat about self-care in academia” – thanks to Katie for the title.
