Research Showcase – Improving Palliative Dementia Care at Home
July 1 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
How can homecare workers better identify and respond to the palliative care needs of people living with dementia. And what does it take to introduce practical tools into everyday care.
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, Annika Dhawan will share work from the PALLDEM Homecare study, a proof of concept project exploring how the IPOS Dem (Integrated Palliative Care Outcome Scale for Dementia) can be implemented within domiciliary homecare settings.
The study aims to support homecare workers in recognising and responding to the palliative care needs of people living with dementia through practical, co designed tools and processes. Annika will discuss findings from co production workshops with homecare workers and managers, alongside early insights into barriers, facilitators, and practical considerations for implementing IPOS Dem in everyday care.
Annika is a Research Assistant at King’s College London, based at the Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care, Policy and Rehabilitation. Her work focuses on improving dementia care and supporting implementation of person centred palliative approaches in real world settings.e for questions and discussion.
Attendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion.
