0 Reviews

With its word class universities and research active NHS trusts Greater Manchester is at the forefront of a lot of ground-breaking dementia research. But this work isn't just for scientists, progress couldn't be made without the pioneering involvement of people like you.

There are so many ways you can play a part in the battle to beat dementia whether you're living with a diagnosis, caring for someone who is or are just interested in learning more about how the brain works. Join Dementia Research is a national initiative aiming to empower people with and without a dementia diagnosis to take part and to learn more about memory and dementia through research.

COVID-19 update:

In line with Government guidance on reducing person-to-person contact, many studies, including those that involve meeting with the researcher, will be put on hold. This is to keep healthcare professionals and participants safe, and to allow research teams to support healthcare delivery where possible.

These decisions will depend on the individual study. If a study you are in is affected by this change, then this will be communicated to you by the main investigator. 

For the time being, Join Dementia Research will no longer match you to studies that involve direct contact. 

However, there are many studies on Join Dementia Research that do not involve person-to-person contact, and many of you have generously contributed to these - thank you. These studies will continue. 

For the latest guidance on COVID-19, and steps to care for yourself and others, please see the NHS website.
