About
Our work in this areas focuses on:
co-producing inclusive research into brain health and dementia
designing more culturally relevant and competent services to address the brain health and dementia needs of culturally diverse communities
tackling structural racism which is currently built into health services.
Work to date includes the PMIMS Study and brain health priority setting with the Chinese community. We are also partnering with Cultural Appropriate Resources to refine and pilot reminiscent therapy interventions tailored to people with dementia from Caribbean communities. Future work includes brain health priority setting with Israac Somali Community Association in collaboration with Dr Becky Field.
Future work is looking to develop a new intervention to support people living with cognitive symptoms from racially minoritised communities who have not yet received a dementia diagnosis. These ideas have been co-produced through the findings of the PMIMS Study. During the DERA conference, we asked attendees to consider what this intervention might look like - see here for a visual summary of the discussion.
Putting Me Into Memories Services Study (PMIMS)
Putting Me Into Memories Services Study (PMIMS)
Funded by the RCGP SFB board, this innovative study is co-produced with community organisations representing ethnically diverse communities across Sheffield and uses creative participatory action research methodology Photovoice to explore cultural understandings of ageing + dementia and barriers faced when accessing healthcare and support. The findings of the qualitative and literature-based workstreams will inform stakeholder workshops to co-design an intervention prototype. The project will culminate in a dissemination and celebration event including an exhibition co-curated by the Photovoice participants and community research link workers.

This research prioritisation work was led by Dr Kate Fryer and Funded by Research England.
