Health research must be informative, accessible and relevant to the public, patients, clinicians, health professionals, researchers, policy makers and health service managers. NIHR Evidence presents high quality summaries of findings so that health and care research can be used by all members of society.

In this podcast we discuss the new NIHR Evidence Dementia Collection.

A collection of NIHR funded research summaries created in close collaboration with those who might use them, including clinicians, commissioners, patients and the public.

In the host chair is Dr Emily Oliver, Lead Dementia Nurse for Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust and former NIHR Clinical Academic Fellow.

Emily talks with one of the researchers whose work is included in the collection, Christina Victor, Professor of Gerontology and Public Health from Brunel University. They are joined by Ann Pascoe a dementia carer and founder / chair of Dementia Friendly Communities. The final guest comes from NIHR Evidence. Nick Spirit is Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the NIHR Centre for Engagement and Dissemination, his work involved ensuring that the thoughts and views of health and care professionals, patients, carers and the public are incorporated in to every aspect of NIHR funded research dissemination, knowledge mobilisation and public involvement.
