The UK DRI exists to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. By involving people who have lived experience in our research, we can ensure new treatments and technologies meet the needs of those affected. Whilst the UK DRI has always engaged people with lived experience in its research, a new initiative at the UK DRI Care Research & Technology Centre aims to take this one step further.
This month, the Centre launched its brand-new network, Friends of the Care Research & Technology Centre (Friends of CR&T), which will promote even stronger partnerships between researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience, creating a community where all can learn from one another.
