Lisa Hammond - Back to Research

Lisa Hammond narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Welcome to our first blog from Lisa Hammond, in this post she delves into the transformative work of the Daphne Jackson Trust and the Alzheimer's Society, shedding light on the significance of supporting individuals in returning to careers in dementia research. This inspiring journey explores how these organizations play a pivotal role in empowering individuals who temporarily stepped away from their professional lives to care for loved ones or start families.

Caring for someone with dementia or dedicating time to family responsibilities is a noble and selfless act. However, for those who aspired to contribute to the field of dementia research, these detours often meant putting their own ambitions on hold. Recognizing the immense potential and untapped talent that lay dormant, the Daphne Jackson Trust, has emerged as a beacon of hope for those seeking to reignite their careers in the realm of dementia research.
