A great day at the Nottingham Centre for Dementia Showcase which focused on ‘Rethinking dementia: collaboration, co-design and change’. A great mix of presenters and an interesting table discussion! Alice presented work from her PhD on ‘addressing dementia diagnosis inequalities’.

Happy #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons! It is rare that the time and efforts that older people put towards caring for others are truly appreciated. So, from our DETERMIND team, we'd like to send a huge thank you and encourage others to join in with the celebrations :)

We're closing off World Alzheimer's Month with a look back at this September.

This month, we visited 20 homes to interview people living with dementia and those who support them. We travelled to 16 areas across the UK, attended 5 conferences and expanded our staff team with a few new members :)

Empowering video from @alzint.org about what everyone can do to raise awareness and reduce stigma associated with dementia.

This year's theme for World Alzheimer's Month encourages open conversation and for people to ask about dementia.

The Gateshead research team recently visited participants in a beautiful town in the North Pennines. Winding roads led the team on a rural research adventure, where they were warmly welcomed by the local community.

Published DETERMIND study findings from @drrotemperach.bsky.social and Carmen Colclough on how staying involved with decisions such as what to eat and what to wear are positively associated with quality of life.

One of our London research assistants recently presented at the IFPE International Congress in Trento. Outside of the DETERMIND study, they are investigating key health outcomes and sociodemographic details of those who access mental health services without a formal diagnosis.

I feel very lucky to have attended the IFPE International Congress in Trento to share findings on those accessing mental healthcare services without a diagnosis. It was a really great opportunity to gain an understanding of global mental health epidemiology! Loved Trento a lot too :)

Our lead, Professor Sube Banerjee, presented evidence based on findings from the DETERMIND study to the UK Covid Inquiry. He discussed the disproportionate impact the pandemic had on people with dementia and their caregivers, and recommendations for future pandemics.

ARUK South Coast Network meeting was a great opportunity to catch up with peers, meet others working in the field and present the exciting next stage of the @determindstudy.bsky.social study! Thanks for a great few days @alzheimersresearchuk.org!

What did you do after the bank holiday? We reunited our team to spend the day planning an application at the @empowerdementianet.bsky.social Sandpit Event. It was a real joy to meet others passionate about making a difference to the lives of those living with dementia and those who support them :)

Well done to Kate Gridley, who has recently published an incredibly important paper looking closely at the degrading effects of COVID-19 on the social environments of people living with dementia. The paper quotes participants from DETERMIND and PriDem studies. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

PhD student @isaac-dc.bsky.social had a great time in Toronto at their first @alzassociation.bsky.social‬ international conference. They enjoyed learning about new community-based interventions and co-designed respite programs, as well as presenting their own research and lots of poutine! #AAIC25
