Dr Victoria Shepherd - Advance planning for research participation

Dr Victoria Shepherd narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Do you have experience of struggling to recruit people to your research study? Both Alzheimer’s Research UK and Alzheimers’ Society have highlighted the shockingly low participation in dementia research compared to other major health conditions. Recent announcements of a ‘national mission’ to tackle dementia and funding to strengthen capacity and capability in dementia research are, of course, very welcome. However, the barriers to recruiting sufficient numbers of people living with dementia will also need to be addressed. Could there be other ways to look at this challenge? Vicky discusses in this blog.
