Research Showcase – Dementia & Employment Research Priorities
April 15 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
What support do people living with dementia need to remain in work. How can employers, policy makers, researchers, and carers work together to shape better employment support.
This livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work, methods, and ideas.
In this session, Dr Rachel Allen from the University of West of Scotland present current work from the Working with Dementia Network + project, which explores dementia and employment across research, policy, and practice. The project has recently completed a series of Nominal Group Technique focus groups designed to identify priorities for future work in this area.
These groups brought together people living with a dementia diagnosis, carers, employers and managers, professionals involved in policy, and researchers. Rachel will discuss why this approach was used, what participants identified as key priorities, and how these findings will shape the next phase of the Network Plus programme.
Attendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion.
