In a way that everyone can understand, this video features Adam talking with:
Dr Fiona Marshall Research Fellow, University of Nottingham (SLIDES) Fiona's research looks at the design and delivery of dementia care services in remote and rural areas of the UK. Proportionally, there are far more older people living with dementia and spousal carers then in urban areas, yet less attention and funding is afforded to these areas. By adopting a more spatial policy approach to the design and delivery of dementia focused services, my work seeks to challenge the dominance of "one size fits all" approach which underpins the most of dementia-friendly services - @fionaj1215
Dr Paul Brownbill Insight Lead-Richmond Fellowship Paul finished his PhD study, looking at caring for people who have dementia in community hospitals. The study details everyday decision making of people who work in community hospitals, looking it from an ethnometholodogical perspective. He now works for a Mental Health charity as a manager of research & impact - @paully232000
