Very happy to have passed my #PhD upgrade yesterday! There were a lot of helpful comments and suggestions that will help improve my PhD project to explore the use of technology in monitoring awareness in severe dementia. #phdchat #AcademicChatter

Please see information below regarding two workshops. We would like to meet with people who have long-term conditions who are financially struggling so we can learn how to make research more inclusive. Please contact @AbiWoodward_PhD (email in the leaflet) for more information.

Thank you @FawnHarrad and @CRN_WMid for inviting me to talk about my PhD project on the acceptability and feasibility of using monitoring tech in severe #dementia. I really enjoyed the talks and hope to share more results next year when the project is completed! #ENRICHAgeing
#ENRICHAgeing Last but certainly not least @jechan213 discusses his PhD work exploring the use of monitoring tech in measuring levels of awareness in people with dementia. Key finding = importance of establishing good rapport with professionals who may support use of this tech.

One of my goals is to engage in more dementia research beyond my PhD & my blog on a meta-review looking at the moral barriers & facilitators that physicians encounter when talking about #AdvanceCarePlanning for people with #dementia is out now! Link here: elfi.sh/3wDNMRx
"An open, safe and honest discussion about #AdvanceCarePlanning is needed, including the detrimental effect it may have on physician’s job satisfaction in the long term." New dementia blog by @jechan213 elfi.sh/3wDNMRx
