Would you like to contribute to the way dementia looks in the future?



JDR is run by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) in partnership with Alzheimer Scotland, Alzheimer's Research UK and Alzheimer's Society. The service enables people to register their interest in participating in dementia research and be matched to suitable studies.

Organisations like yourselves can play a key part in offering your clients, their family members and carers the opportunity to take part in important dementia research.

Talking to them about research is one way to provide high quality care and helps you meet specific guidelines i.e. NICE, NHS England Dementia Good Care Planning, CQC. It also helps to improve our understanding of dementia as well as shape services and treatment of patients in the NHS and wider care settings.

Volunteers say that taking part in research makes them feel like they are making a difference to people living with dementia and giving them hope for the future.
