Title: Co-produced innovations for people living with dementia and their unpaid carers.
My presentation will highlight some of the research led by Dementia Services Development Centre, Bangor University that is aiming to transform post-diagnostic support by generating new, co-produced innovations for people living with dementia and their unpaid carers, including young carers. I will talk about our research that inspired the production of ‘Knowledge is Power’ designed by, and for people with dementia, aimed at reducing the provision of overwhelming amounts of information given at diagnosis in Wales into one resource. I will discuss how we uncovered the challenges faced by young dementia carers, raised their profile and co-produced a new resource – iSupport for Young People – specifically designed with and for their needs which is now being promoted across the UK.
Abstract submission is now closed
We’ve received many abstracts on different topics on dementia diagnosis and care, and have sent out confirmation emails for oral and poster presentations to everyone who submitted an abstract.
