The Centre for Palliative Dementia Care is a collaboration between UCL's Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Department and the Research Dept. of Primary Care and Population Health
About the team
As more people are diagnosed with dementia there is an increasing demand for high quality research to address key issues facing individuals, families and wider society. We are the leading research group for dementia palliative care in the UK. Our team comprises clinicians, senior and junior researchers and PhD students from a range of disciplines. We use rigorous research to improve end of life experiences for people living and dying with dementia and to support their family carers and professionals who provide care. Our work is funded by organisations including Marie Curie, Alzheimer’s Society, ESRC and NIHR.
