SUMMARY:Inclusion in dementia research
DESCRIPTION:DRNI are delighted to introduce our next webinar\, Inclusion in dementia research.\nTaking place at 10.00 am on Monday\, 16th June\, this extended webinar will feature three speakers as well as an expert panel discussion. \nTo register\, please go to: https://forms.office.com/e/JSFKiP3z7v \n\nIntroducing our speakers:  \nProfessor Naaheed Mukadam is Professor of Psychiatry at University College London\, where her research looks at inequalities in access to dementia services\, including interventions to encourage earlier help-seeking for dementia in South Asian people in the UK. She is also interested in the epidemiology of dementia\, particularly environmental risk factors\, dementia prevention and how these may differ by ethnicity. Professor Mukadam is a member of the European Consortium on Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology(ECCroN)\, an international group that aims to improve the assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse individuals across Europe. Professor Mukadam was also author on the 2024 “Dementia prevention\, intervention\, and care: 2024 report of the Lancet standing Commission”. \nThe title of Professor Mukadam’s presentation will be confirmed shortly. \nDr Sarah Cullum is an Associate Professor in Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland and a Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry at Counties Manukau in Auckland\, New Zealand. She has over 20 years of clinical and research experience in dementia. Dr Cullum has led research on the epidemiology of dementia in Aotearoa New Zealand\, assessed ethnic disparities in access to care\, and co-developed a website to support carers in taking care of themselves and their family members living with dementia. She is currently an Atlantic Fellow at the Global Brain health Institute in Trinity College Dublin \nDr Cullum’s presentation is entitled Living with dementia in Aotearoa (LiDiA). Aotearoa New Zealand is a bicultural nation (Māori and European) with a growing population of Asian and Pacific peoples. Recent analysis of national routinely collected data suggests dementia prevalence is higher in Māori and Pacific peoples when compared with European and Asian\, and that inequities in dementia care for Māori\, Asian\, and Pacific people with dementia exist. The aim of this presentation is to describe the research and related activities that our multi-ethnic research group (LiDiA) undertook over a period of 8 years to finally obtain the funding required for the population-based IDEA (Impact of Dementia mate wareware and solutions for Equity in Aotearoa) programme which describes the extent and impact of dementia in NZ’s major ethnic groups. \nDr Georgia Richard is a Specialist Registrar in Neurology and an Irish Academic Clinician Training Programme Fellow. Her PhD project looks at cognition in long-term homeless adults. Dr Richard will present some preliminary findings from her PhD research\, titled Cognitive Impairment in People Experiencing Long-Term Homelessness\, Evidence and Relationships (CIPHER). Homelessness represents a critical public health crisis in Ireland and globally\, with the mean age of death for individuals experiencing homelessness in Ireland as low as 42 years. It is recognised that people experiencing homelessness (PEH) face disproportionately high rates of early cognitive impairment and dementia\, with significant personal and societal consequences. Despite this\, there has been limited research to date exploring the specific characteristics and associations of cognitive impairment within this population. This presentation seeks to address this gap by presenting\, for the first time\, detailed insights into the characteristics and associations of cognitive impairment among PEH in Ireland.
