The aim of this research project is to explore the lived experiences of people with dementia in relation to epistemic injustice and to examine its practical consequences.

My work spans several projects, including reducing inequalities in service access for minority communities affected by dementia and evaluating the effectiveness of support provision for unpaid family carers. My research expertise lies in qualitative evidence synthesis, implementation methodologies, and realist methodology. This year, I will begin a realist synthesis of the implementation of evidence-based dementia care programmes, funded by the NIHR Three Schools Dementia Research Programme grant.

My clinical and research interests focus on the understanding of interactions between brain, cognition and behavior, as well as the implementation of such knowledge in the assessment and treatment of brain dysfunction, caused by psychiatric or neurological disorders. My research interests focus on the investigation of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, personality and everyday functioning changes in patients with dementia, especially frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

My area of expertise is psychology and my main scientific interests revolve around dementia, memory and psychotherapy.

My research focuses on the voice of people with dementia and promotes the proper caring attitude, called "DemenTitude®" in Hong Kong. I am working on implementing dementia-friendly language in Cantonese and developing programmes for good-quality dementia care education in Chinese society.

My research (PhD dissertation) mainly focuses on safeguarding the health of individuals with dementia and their caregivers during disasters. To address the shortage of nurses in geriatric and gerontological nursing in my country, I actively work on technology-based approaches to prepare nursing students for these fields. I am also dedicated to improving the caregiving skills of family members caring for individuals with dementia and have a role as a researcher in the international UNIC-Seed project.

People with dementia prefer to live at home for as long as possible. Care professionals play an important role in creating living environments that enable to live well with dementia. They are, however, often insufficiently equipped or facilitated to do so. Different ways of learning and development are needed to accelerate innovation in dementia care. Learning Communities provide possibilities to collaborate with multiple stakeholders in dementia care to jointly learn, work, and innovate. In the ENABLE-DEM project, we aim to investigate, strengthen and connect four dementia care Learning Communities to create environments that enable to live well with dementia. The overall aims are therefore: 1. Investigate and support LCs that are focused on establishing environments that enable to live well with dementia and 2. Provide insights into the design, development, value and sustainability of multistakeholder LCs that foster lifelong learning and development. To this end, we collaborate with four existing LCs taking a realist action research approach to ultimately realize enabling environments for people with dementia and their family caregivers
