CareCoach Study

by martyn jones
Health & care Research Wales (HCRW) have shared with us a study that is asking for all Welsh Health boards to share the flyer/advert with colleague Leads/Specialists within Dementia and Neurodegeneration services.

The study are not looking for additional sites,- therefore no need for set up, etc-as with the ‘FIND ME’ study, but have requested help to support recruitment by sharing comms materials in Wales (the study flyer and newsletter/social media ad, attached above).

The study is looking to test the clinical and cost-effectiveness of an online support package (CareCoach) for family carers of people living with dementia.

The main inclusion criteria are adults currently providing informal/unpaid care or support for a person living with dementia (whose diagnosis is within the last 5 years).

HCRW asked if we could share the attached comms materials with our ABUHB Leads/Specialist colleagues, to share anywhere you think may be relevant (e.g: your wards/clinics/online/anywhere else).

I’ve accessed the QR code to take a look at their information & noted their social media posts & have myself already shared with my own family & friends. Would be another great opportunity for families/carers of our PLWD to get involved with Research & indeed another ‘string to bow’- in your growing ‘research active’ status as a department.
