How is research making a visit to the hospital better for people living with dementia

On the 7th September 2020, ⁠⁠⁠Adam Smith⁠⁠⁠ hosted the Dementia Research Chatathon LIVE - to share information on the wide variety of research taking place across the world, and the raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. Please continue to donate and help Adam meet his £5,000 target - details can be found at ⁠⁠⁠http://www.chatathon.uk⁠⁠⁠. In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with: Dr Courtney Genge, Program Adviser for the federal ageing research program, National Research Council Canada I have spent the last few years researching Dementia in the emergency department using a human factors framework to understand the safety implications of receiving care in this setting. My work is grounded in participatory research approaches and utilises co-production and collaborative research partnerships with people living with dementia - @courtneyjshaw1 ⁠ Dr Emily Jones, Senior Matron for Medicine at Portsmouth Hospital University NHS Trust. In my clinical academic doctorate I explored how the work system of an acute hospital impacted nursing staff's capacity to care for people with dementia. The findings indicated that nurses are driven by the priorities of the organisation, which unfortunately is not high quality dementia care but patient flow and patient safety initiatives. Nurses struggle with feelings of guilt and fear with regards to their work, guilt for not providing good care but fear of not completing the task "visible" to the organisation. The research raises questions about nursing autonomy and decision making, particularly with regards to the organisation of their work and also how we make dementia care tangible. @emilyjonesmed

I collaborate with clinical researchers to measure biomarkers of neurodegeneration in a variety of biofluids, most topical right now are blood biomarkers which we are able to measure with the use of super sensitive assay technology - @ajh1269 Dr Josie Jenkinson, Consultant Psychiatrist for Older People, Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I am an NHS doctor and researcher, focusing on long-term specialist continuing care and health services research. I am particularly interested in deliberate self harm in older adults, delirium and dementia care pathways.

Please continue to donate and help Adam meet his £5,000 target - details can be found at http://www.chatathon.uk. In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with: Imogen Swift Research Assistant, UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL. Imogen is involved in developing novel fluid biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia (FTD). With a particular focus on developing CSF and blood-based markers for genetic FTD caused by GRN mutations. Imogen works within the Fluid Biomarker team at the Dementia Research Institute with Dr Amanda Heslegrave and the FTD UCL team at the Dementia Research Centre with Jon Rohrer. She is also involved in managing the biobank for a number of dementia studies including GENFI which involves coordinating sample collection from 27 sites across the world - @immy_swift Dr Lucy Russell Research Fellow, Dementia Research Centre, University College London. Lucy works with Dr Rohrer on a project called GENFI that aims to follow individuals with a genetic form of FTD. Her current role is to act as the FTD Prevention Initiative (FPI) co-ordinator, working with GENFI and other large cohort studies across the world as well as pharmaceutical companies and consortium groups to get as many clinical trials up and running as soon as possible. Additionally Lucy is involved in recruiting individuals to the one (and only) FTD trial currently running in the UK. Her specific interests and PhD looked at social interactions with individuals with Dementia, as well as trying to developing novel eye-tracking tasks that are more sensitive to change earlier in the disease course than what current assessments currently are able to do. Dr Martina Bocchetta Senior Research Fellow, Dementia Research Centre, UCL. With funding from Alzheimer's Society, Martina investigates the changes that occur in the brain in the genetic forms of FTD. Using different neuroimaging techniques to measure these changes on MRIs, hoping to identify markers of disease onset and progression to be used in clinical trials - @bocchettaM Mica Clarke PhD Candidate, University College London. Mica is investigating new ways to track the progression of disease in FTD. She is using a type of brain imaging to do this called PET imaging (positron emission tomography), which allows us to look at certain proteins in the brain via brain scans that might be involved in the disease process - @mtmclarke Dr Aitana Sogorb Esteve Postdoctoral Research Fellow, UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL Atina is looking for novel biomarkers and biomarker panels to diagnose the different aspects of FTD - @aitanasogorb

Dementia Research Charity Chatathon

The 2022 Dementia Research Charity Chatathon LIVE was held on Friday 2nd December - A non-stop marathon 12.5 hour livestream with Adam Smith interviewing 68 Researchers and Special Guests working across all areas of discovery to beat Alzheimer's disease and all forms of dementia. The event had two aims 1. Raise money for four great research charities 2. Share insights into the latest research taking place across the UK and Worldwide. Aimed at anyone with an interest in dementia (including healthcare professionals, clinicians, researchers, people living with dementia and their families), the chatathon revolved around interviewing researchers in small groups throughout the day, covering everything from prevention, diagnosis, the latest treatments, improvements in care and everything in between. This year the event was to raise money for four amazing charities who all fund research - Alzheimer's Research UK, Alzheimer's Society, Race Against Dementia and The Lewy Body Society. There is still time to donate and find out more information at http://www.chatathon.uk
