Delirium in dementia and its impact on people with dementia, caregivers, and healthcare services

Posted 28 November 2024 · Listed under Ageing, Dementia, Neurological Conditions

Patients and public motif, centrifugeDelirium is a serious and sudden condition that causes confusion and a change in a person’s mental state. People with dementia are at high risk of getting delirium. This research aims to understand the risk factors of delirium, how common delirium is, and the impact on health for people with dementia and their carers.

I am looking to work with two carers (e.g. a relative or friend) who have experience of caring for someone with dementia who also experiences delirium. I would like them to support me with a variety of activities related to this PhD over 3 years and to establish a long-term collaborative relationship. They would play a vital role in guiding the research, ensuring its relevance and significance for people affected by dementia and delirium.

What the role involves
• Reviewing research documents and providing feedback
• Helping to develop research questions and objectives
• Attending and helping to run workshops or presentations (this is optional and training will be provided)
• This role can be in-person or online
• Payment is offered; please see below.

Time required
• Varying amounts of time for different activities (e.g. a 2-hour meeting, 1-hour to review study documents in own time, etc). More detail will be provided, and these activities can be flexible around when suits you. There will likely be up to 10 activities per year, but this may change.
• Duration: up to 3 years until the completion of my PhD project.

If you are interested or have questions, please contact me – Alice Burnand: [email protected]

Reimbursement

You will be paid an hourly rate of £25, plus £5 internet fees for meetings conducted online.

Date required

Ongoing, but as soon as possible
