Sustainable Prevention, Innovation and INvolvement NETwork (SPIINNET) will deliver a programme that will use and make connections between the experience, knowledge and resources of people across the network to identify ways to reduce people’s risks of dementia and improve their experiences of living with dementia.
Background
Recent high-quality research indicates that we could prevent up to 40 per cent of dementia by taking meaningful action from mid life.
Project Aims
It aims to develop the quality of experience, effective knowledge and resources of people with dementia, families, communities, the NHS and social care.
Project Activity
Activities will include workshops where people can meet to design research projects together, training events, funding innovative ideas, meetings to raise awareness about dementia and prevention, and annual conferences to share learning.
Anticipated or actual outputs
Creation of a mutually responsive ecosystem which can strengthen understanding, involvement, and innovation in dementia prevention research to develop the quality of experience, effective knowledge and resources of people with dementia, families, communities, the NHS and social care.
