For many years people with dementia have been prescribed anti-psychotic drugs to manage challenging behaviours and agitation. Even today the reliance on this medication is too high, however, attitudes have changed, and over the past 5 years or more there had been a drive to reduce the use of these medications. However, that left the question of ‘what’s the alternative’ this is where studies like MARQUE are so vitally important. In this podcast Francesca La Frenais, and Dr Penny Rapaport from the Division of Psychiatry at UCL talk about the MARQUE Study, and how their work is helping us to understand what causes agitation and how the interventions tested in this study are improving quality of life for those living with dementia, and helping carers.

Working life is inherently relational and in the case of doing a PhD, a specific and unique relation is that with your mentor or supervisor. Mutually nurturing this relationship, is key to success, or is it? In this weeks podcast, our panel explore how they have worked with, and managed their relationships with supervisors. How this develops over time, how you ensure your research is your own and their tips for success. This weeks host is Chris Hardy a Clinical neuroscience and Postdoc from University College London and the panellists are Jacki Stansfield a PhD working also at UCL, Robyn Dowlen, PhD Student at The University of Manchester and finally Lisa Thorpe a PhD Student, University of Chester.

How to choose a postdoc, and find the right PhD
April 15, 2018
•33m
It's a big decision isn't it? In this podcast we hope our panel can help you decide. Identifying an area of interest in working life, requires not only an awareness of where our own curiosity resides, but also an appreciation of the reality in which we can explore it. As such there is a certain degree of pragmatism in matching imaginative possibilities with practical actualities - and that includes finding funding, appropriate supervision, and location. In this weeks podcast our panel is chaired by Dr Charlotte Stoner, Research Associate from University College London. On the panel we have Christopher Madan from University of Nottingham, Angelique Mavrodaris a Clinical Research Fellow and Consultant in Public Health Medicine in Cambridge and Suzanne Hill a PhD student at University of Bradford. You can find a transcript of this podcast on our website - https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/how-to-choose-a-postdoc-and-phd/
