Leanne Greene & Alex Gude - Judging capacity in dementia studies

Leanne Greene narrates the blog written by herself and colleague Alex Gude written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Current NIHR guidance advocates that research should strive to improve the inclusion of individuals with dementia, including those who lack capacity (i.e. the ability to make one’s own decisions). Despite this guidance, D-PACT is one of few studies actively including adults who lack capacity through an innovative ‘inclusive recruitment pathway’ and the use of consultees.

In this blog Leanne and Alex how D-PACT went about developing a new approach to addressing capasity, and lessons learned from using their new pathway and guidance.
