An exciting feature of Dementia Researcher Communities is our Online Journal Club Platform – tailor-made for researchers and clinicians, working in all areas of dementia research discovery – from care research to biomarkers, fundamental science to clinical services.
- Journal clubs cover a wide range of research topics – you can join an existing group or volunteer to act as co-ordinator and start your own.
- Our journal clubs have up to 20 members, including a co-ordinator.
- Clubs meet for 1 hour each month using our apps ‘live rooms’ functionality.
- Using our dedicated chat spaces, the coordinator leads a discussion between meetings to agree the date and time for meetings and who will present that month’s paper.
- Once agreed the meeting is added to the group and you will receive an invitation and joining link.
- You meet, the presenter presents the paper, you chat and then the recording will be saved within the group for those who couldn’t attend to watch back later.
The following journal clubs are currently looking for new members:
- Occupational Therapy and Dementia – led by Communit Dr Aisling Flynn
- Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Dementia – led by Lucy Jobbins
- Queering Dementia – led by Daithi Clayton
- Qualitative Dementia Research – led by Bethany Linder
- Dementia in Low-Resource Settings – led by Dr Josie Prynn
- Computational Dementia Research
- Dementia Prevention – led by Michelle Reshef
- Advances in Lewy Body Diseases – led by Dr Megan Rose Readman

If the journal club you would like to join isn’t currently accepting new members, or if you don’t find a topic that suits you – why not start your own? Get in touch.
