My PhD project falls within the Netherlands Dementia Prevention Initiative (NDPI), which is a large-scale research project carried out by a national, multidisciplinary consortium. At the core of NDPI lies a mission for dementia risk reduction by raising awareness and knowledge about dementia. NDPI has a non-exclusive focus on people with low SES or migrant background to increase the (brain) health gap<\/p>

My PhD focused on examining working memory and inhibitory control processes in Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and mild cognitive impairment and examining whether eye tracking could be an effective method to measure these processes. I am currently researching the effectiveness and accessibility of singing and dancing intervention services for people living with dementia.<\/p>

The general aim of my research is to investigate quality of life and well-being of people with dementia living in long-term care facilities, to examine whether a person-cantered multi-component intervention had effect on their behaviour and to investigate whether unmet needs behind changed behaviour can be detected by a multidisciplinary team.

I am currently researching a range of qualitative topics across a number of NIHR funded projects including: a consultation into care planning in care homes including for people living with dementia; an investigation into digital technology use in older adults within adult social care; and an inquiry into identifying the barriers and facilitators to accessing mental health support for carers of people living with dementia. I will be starting a fellowship funded by the Alzheimer\u2019s Society from August 2023 which will evaluate the role of dementia care navigators in the community.<\/p>
