PALLIATIVE AND END OF LIFE CARE IN DEMENTIA
Epidemiology and health services research: to identify barriers to access to good quality palliative and end of life care for older people, complex interventions to improve care in a range of settings

-The CoMPASs:IOn Programme (Care Of Memory Problems in Advanced Stages: Improving Our kNowledge). A 3 year programme grant funded by Marie Curie Cancer Care UK

-Improving health care in care homes. Developing an evidenced based intervention to improve health care for, and prevent avoidable hospital admission of, older care home residents with frailty or dementia. NIHR Programme development Grant (with Professor Murna Downs University of Bradford)

-Pain in Impaired Cognition.COST "European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research".  Action brings together leading researchers from a wide range of scientific disciplines. The major aim is the development of a comprehensive and internationally agreed-on assessment toolkit for older adults targeting the various subtypes of dementia and various aspects of pain, including pain diagnostics, cognitive examination and guidelines for proper assessment. http://www.cost-td1005.net/

-The START study. Interventions for carers of peopel with dementia:  (with Prof. G Livingston)
