Neurodegenerative Disease and Dementia theme: help us in projects to improve dementia care
Welcome to Popped! This stands for POrtal for Patient and Public Engagement in Dementia research and invites you to share your thoughts on research projects aimed at improving dementia care.
By gathering feedback from the public, researchers hope to guide research in ways that reflect the needs and priorities of people with dementia, their carers, families, professionals and anyone with experience or interest in dementia.
Visit our Neurodegenerative Disease and Dementia theme pages for more PPIE opportunities.
