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. (Needless to say, they all have perfect relationships with their supervisors) Please share our podcasts using #ECRDementia and visit our website www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk where you will find lots of information and support for Early Career Dementia Researchers.

In podcast #2 from dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk we have a great panel line up, talking about 'Working with people with dementia and their carers'. The people behind the disease are at the centre of what we do as dementia researchers. Biomedical research often involves directly working with patients and carers. This offers a fantastic opportunity and some unique challenges. In this recording Amy Monaghan talks to Timothy Rittman from University of Cambridge and Addenbrookes Hospital, Kellie Morrissey from the Open Lab at Newcastle University and Yvette Vermee from the Department of Psychiatry at University College London. We hear how these three individuals work with people with dementia, how this benefits their work, how to prepare, and how to approach working with individuals challenged by their symptoms.

Discussing the MARQUE Study - Managing Agitation in Dementia

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. You can find a transcript of this podcast on our website - https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/discussing-the-marque-study/
