The “Join Dementia Research” website assists people with dementia to learn about, and become involved in, dementia research. A new enhancement to this service allows people with dementia (or their families / carers for example, acting on their behalf) to register an interest in participating in research studies. This is hoped to remove barriers to public and patient engagement in research trials, while helping researchers find suitable participants as and when required.
