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.

Navigating Research Ethics
January 6, 2019
•30m
Research that involves human subjects (also known as people), or even human tissue will often raise unique ethical, legal and social issues. Research ethics is specifically interested in the analysis of ethical issues that are raised when people are involved, and even the most experienced of researchers find the process of getting a favourable ethical opinion, valuable and frustrating! This week Megan O’Hare speaks with Yvette Vermeer a PhD student from UCL, James Fletcher a Teaching Fellow at King’s College and Danielle Wilson a Clinical Research Operational Manager at Oxford University Hospitals and also Vice Chair of your local research ethics panel. Discussing the challenges, benefits and giving tips and advice for Early Career Researchers navigating this process. There are three objectives in research ethics: 1. The first objective is to protect human participants. 2. The second is to ensure that research is conducted in a way that serves interests of individuals, groups and/or society as a whole. 3. Last of all, the third objective is to examine specific research activities and projects for their ethical soundness, looking at issues such as the management of risk, protection of confidentiality and the process of informed consent.

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.
