Rare Dementia Support Impact study

This week Megan O'Hare interviews Emma Harding and Emilie Brotherhood, PhD students working on the Rare Dementia Support Impact study - a £3.5 million, five-year, multi-site collaboration research study into the value of multicomponent support groups for people living with or supporting someone with a rare form of dementia.

They will discuss the 5 work packages involved but also the translation of all their work into other forms of dementia and the potential impact this could have on policy, particularly around financial support. More information on Rare Dementias and support can be found at http://www.raredementiasupport.org/
