SUMMARY:Introduction to Wellcome Open Research
DESCRIPTION:This session will introduce the open publishing and peer review model used by Wellcome Open Research\, including advice for first-time authors.  \nWellcome Open Research is a fully Open Access publishing platform that can be used by all Wellcome Trust funded projects and researchers to openly disseminate research outputs. Submissions to Wellcome Open Research are subject to editorial checks that ensure the robustness\, quality\, and transparency of the underlying research. Following these checks\, articles are published Open Access before peer review\, so that they can be viewed and cited as quickly as possible. Expert reviewers are then selected and invited\, and their reports and names are published alongside the article\, post-publication. \nThis webinar will include a presentation on the publication requirements for Wellcome Open Research\, and the submission\, revision\, and post-publication open peer review workflows. We will provide advice for authors on how to ensure that submissions meet the requirements for open publishing\, and how to engage with the revision and peer review process that follows. You will also have the opportunity to hear from a Wellcome Open Research author about their experience of using the platform to publish their research. There will be a Q&A and the session will be recorded for registrants who are unable to attend live. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Launch of the APPLE-TREE study on Dementia Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the House of Lords for an in-person launch of the APPLE-TREE* dementia prevention study. \nHosted by Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick\, the event will share the study’s results and feature an expert panel discussing why dementia prevention matters more than ever. \nPanelists include: \n\nProfessor Fiona Carragher\, Chief Policy and Research Officer\, Alzheimer’s Society\nProfessor Mark Caulfield\, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Precision Medicine at Queen Mary University.\nDr Jeremy Isaacs\, National Clinical Director for Dementia at the NHS\n\nAs the UK ages\, it is vital to invest in prevention for age-related diseases such as dementia. One in eleven people – an estimated 982\,000 – in the UK have dementia\, and around 7% of these cases are diagnosed before the age of 65. By 2030\, it is projected there will be over one million people in the UK living with dementia. \nProactive approaches like APPLE-TREE not only support healthier ageing but also reduce pressure on our health and care systems in the long term. \nThe launch will showcase the findings of the six-year study led by Queen Mary University and include an expert panel discussion on the importance of dementia prevention in the UK today. \nAs places at this in person event are limited\, please register here if you’re interested in attending. \nActive Prevention in People at risk of dementia through Lifestyle\, bEhaviour change and Technology to build REsiliEnce*

SUMMARY:Continuity of care in UK general practice
DESCRIPTION:Continuity of care means patients seeing the same GP over time to develop a personal and trusting relationship. Good continuity of care is known to be better for patients’ health\, but has been declining in the UK. \nWhen someone wants to see a GP\, they contact their practice and ask for an appointment. This can be done in different ways\, and these are called the ‘access systems’ in a general practice. \nRecently\, there have been lots of changes to access systems\, due to the high demand for appointments. However\, patients say it is still very difficult to book an appointment with a GP they know. There has been very little research on how these different access systems have affected continuity of care. \nIn this research conversation\, Hannah Mahoney will talk about her study to find out how continuity of care and access systems are linked. \nIn her study\, staff working in General Practice will measure the level of continuity of care being delivered in their practice. They will also complete a questionnaire about the access systems used in their practice. We will review the data and describe any links we find and will then interview some staff members to get more detailed information. \nWe hope this information will help us understand how we can improve continuity of care in the UK. All participants will get feedback on how their data compares to other practices\, which they can use to improve their care. \nOur speaker\nHannah Mahoney is an Academic Clinical Fellow in General Practice\, in the Centre for Academic Primary Care at the University of Bristol. This means she spends half of her time training to be a GP and half of her time doing research. \nShe is interested in continuity of care because she thinks it is one of the most important and valuable things about being a GP. She is new to research\, so will really appreciate the insights from your discussions. \nWhat is a research conversation?\nResearch Conversations are hosted by People in Health West of England and are informal sessions which are designed to give researchers and public contributors a chance to interact. Public contributors are encouraged to ask questions\, learn about\, and get involved in projects in their area. \n\n\nJoining instructions\nTo join the research conversation\, use the Zoom link below \nJoin the session
