Megan O’Hare talks with Dr Raffaele Ferrari a Junior Research Fellow from UCL and Dr Claudia Manzoni, Associate Research Fellow at the University of Reading. The panel are discussing their research and the work of the International Frontotemporal Dementia Genomics Consortium (IFGC). This exciting work is making great progress in understanding FTD, and for those listeners who don’t know, genomics is the branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes – an important focus for dementia research, and particularly in FTD.

Research and Improving NHS Dementia Care
January 21, 2019
•23m
In this weeks podcast Megan Calvert-O'Hare talks to Emily Oliver and Naomi Gallant who are both Clinical Doctoral Research Fellows at the University of Southampton. Emily and Naomi discuss their research into NHS Dementia Care, which focuses mealtimes and relational care. They also discuss their work with the NIHR Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRCs) in Wessex, and how the organisation supports their work and research. There are around 450,000 people with a diagnosis of dementia, and when we further consider those with some form of cognitive impairment, the numbers are probably more than double that. When you consider that on average people with dementia have two of more co-morbidities, it’s should be no surprise that sadly there is a lot of time spent in and around hospitals, as both in-patients and out-patients.

The practicalities and realities of doing qualitative research – ethics on the move
February 17, 2019
•28m
In this podcast the panel discusses how we as early stage researchers are not always fully prepared for qualitative research and the ethical procedure. There are many challenges surrounding ethical qualitative work; yet, insights from such research are extremely valuable. What did they learn? Dr Lakshini Mendis talks with first time panellist Sarah Wallcook a Doctoral Student from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and regular contributor Yvette Vermeer a PhD student and sociologist based at University College London both are part of the Interdisciplinary Network for Dementia Using Current Technology (INDUCT) Programme (something we also discuss).
