SUMMARY:Shaping the future for brain health
DESCRIPTION:Shaping the future for brain health\, dementia prevention and future care needs\, including quality and measurement \nThis webinar\, held in collaboration with the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Dementia and Neurodegeneration (Queen Mary University of London)\, brings together the latest evidence on dementia risk reduction\, models of care\, homecare quality and data sets for older people. Presentations will cover attitudes toward brain health among minoritised ethnic communities\, consensus policy recommendations on dementia prevention\, preferences for new models of care\, and insights into what quality homecare means to older people and stakeholders. The session will also explore the development of a minimum data set for homecare\, offering evidence and guidance to inform policy\, practice\, and research. \nThis session will include talks on: \n\nAttitudes Toward Brain Health and Dementia Risk Reduction Among Minoritised Ethnic Communities in the United Kingdom: A Cross-Sectional Survey Analysis\nThe Nottingham consensus on dementia risk reduction policy: recommendations from a modified-Delphi process\nPreferences for new models of care for people aged 50+ with high care needs: evidence summary\, focus groups and discrete choice experiment\nThe meaning of quality of home care for older people and key stakeholders: a scoping review\nExploring the content of a minimum data set for homecare: desk-based review and stakeholder consultation\n\nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Webinar - Social care for young onset dementia: the financial impact
DESCRIPTION:This Young Dementia Network webinar will highlight the the role of social care in enabling families affected by young onset dementia to plan for and cope with the financial challenges. \nIt will introduce a resource that has been co-produced to help commissioners of services\, social care\, dementia services and third sector professionals to appreciate the impact of young onset dementia on finances and how vital it is to have responsive\, co-ordinated services. The aim is to motivate commissioners and all those developing and delivering local services to ensure they provide effective support for people with young onset dementia and their families to manage their financial situation. \nIn this webinar\, Elaine\, who cares for her husband Lawrence who has young onset dementia\, will talk about her experiences of the financial impact and support to manage this. Dr Catherine Quinn from the University of Bradford will provide findings from the DYNAMIC project\, centring around a summary of what we know about the financial impact of young onset dementia. \nWe will then focus on the process of co-production and the resulting co-produced resource\, designed to help raise awareness of the need for co-ordinated services to help families to manage the financial impact of living with young onset dementia. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Catchup - Debate - Rethinking Research Funding: Peer Review vs Lottery
DESCRIPTION:Is it time to rethink how we award research funding? Join Dr Byron Creese and Dr Subhashisa Swain for a live online debate on 19 November at 8pm GMT and cast your vote. \n\nDebate Motion: \nThis House believes that grant funding should be distributed by lottery\, not peer review.\n\nWith growing concerns about bias\, inefficiency\, and inequity in the peer review process\, some have proposed random allocation\, or partial lotteries\, as a fairer way to fund science. But would replacing peer review with chance undermine merit and rigour? Or could it free researchers from wasted effort and create more diverse\, innovative science? Join this live debate to explore whether the grant lottery is a radical gamble or a rational solution. \n\nSpeaker For the Motion:\nDr Byron Creese is a Senior Lecturer & Director of Research at Brunel University of London. His research focuses on the biological basis of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and related disorders. Byron has been involved in large-scale studies and leads several multidisciplinary collaborations. He is interested in how funding structures influence scientific creativity and equity. \nSpeaker Against the Motion:\nDr Subhashisa Swain is an NIHR ARC Dementia Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, based jointly at the University of Oxford and Keele University. A physiotherapist and epidemiologist by training\, his research focuses on dementia\, ageing\, multimorbidity\, and musculoskeletal conditions. He uses large electronic health records and advanced statistical techniques to study complex health trajectories and improve care across the life course. With over a decade of research experience in both developing and developed countries\, he is also involved in postgraduate teaching and international collaborations. \n\nWhat to Expect\nJoin us for a live online debate where our speakers will present opposing views on the continued relevance of animal models in dementia research. The session will include: \n\n10-minute opening statements from each speaker\nModerated discussion\nAudience Q&A\nLive vote before and after the debate to see if opinions shift\n\nThis is your opportunity to explore whether the future of research funding lies in expert judgment\, the luck of the draw\, or perhaps a mix of the two. \n\n\nWatch the Recording
