Today's topic is the new Alzheimer's Research UK DEMON Network (don't worry you don't have to be an evil spirit or tormentor to join), DEMON being an acronym for Deep Dementia Phenotyping (DEMON) Network. Led by the University of Exeter and supported by Alzheimer's Research UK, the Alan Turing Institute and Dementias Platform UK. It aims to unite experts from a wide range of fields to find new solutions to research in dementia. In this podcast, first time host Piers Kotting is with Professor David Llewellyn from the University of Exeter and Dr Carol Routledge, Director of Research from Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Join Dr Megan O'Hare on the road at Surrey and Borders Partnership Foundation NHS Trust interviewing R&D Manager and PhD Student Jane Gregg and former guest Dr Josie Jenkinson. They discuss Jane's PhD understanding how people perceive themselves and their future once they receive a diagnosis of dementia and how that links with service use in the NHS. This far reaching discussion gives pause for thought and considers how research embedded within the NHS and healthcare can make a real difference.

Next Episode

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.
