A week on from our conference, jointly organised with the Scottish Dementia Research Consortium and Brain Health ARC.

Bringing together academics, early career researchers, health practitioners, and individuals with lived experience, the conference showcased a vibrant range of research. This included dementia risk factors, clinical research, care, policy, lived experience and co-production, with a poetry activity offering a creative dimension. It was fantastic to see such a diversity of perspectives in one space, strengthening connections across research, practice, and lived experience.

A huge thank you to all our speakers, attendees, and contributors for making it such a thoughtful and inspiring event 👏

Do you work in Parkinson’s research and want to strengthen your work through the meaningful involvement of people affected by Parkinson’s?

Partners in Research brings together people affected by Parkinson’s to share lived expertise and real-world perspectives that help shape and strengthen research. Involving people affected by Parkinson’s - from project development and design through to dissemination - can make research more relevant and impactful!

If you’re developing a project and looking to embed a co-productive approach, get in touch to explore how Partners in Research can help. Visit: https://lnkd.in/ePG5gqg9 Or email: [email protected]

If you are affected by Parkinson's and would like to get involved as a Partner in Research visit: http://bit.ly/4wurcdO Or email: [email protected]

📢Join us tomorrow for an online webinar with Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) Scotland exploring Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research.

Our PPI team, Dr Rosie Ashworth and Denise Grassick-Munro, will share how the PPI groups Partners in Research and RICH Voices work with researchers to ensure lived experience shapes studies from the earliest stages.

Part of NHS Research Scotland's Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network (NDN) and ENRICH Scotland respectively, these groups support involvement in dementia, Parkinson’s, and care home research - strengthening research design, accessibility, relevance, and ultimately real-world impact.
