What is your current role in EPAD?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am\nan active member of the Recruitment Core Team, which includes looking at\nhow to increase recruitment by reaching out to sites where necessary and\ntroubleshooting problems as they occur. I am also the country coordinator\nfor Scotland’s TDCs and I am an expert blinded rater for the CDR in all of\nthe Scottish sites. I work for EPAD as a member of the Recruitment\nCore Team one day per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did you do prior to joining EPAD?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nstill work as the Network Manager for NHS Scotland in the Neuroprogressive and\nDementia network 4 days per week. My professional background is Mental\nHealth Nursing and have over 20 years experience in ‘hands on’ nursing people\nwith dementia in both in a hospital and community setting before working as a\nmanager with the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us a bit about the institution\/company\/organisation you work for.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nwork for the NHS and feel passionately proud of the NHS and the concept of\naccess to free healthcare from cradle to grave. The Neuroprogressive and\nDementia Network is funded by the Scottish Government’s Chief Scientist’s\nOffice but delivered through the NHS. We encourage access and\nopportunities for all, to high quality clinical research throughout Scotland\nfor people with these diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your expectations from the EPAD project?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our main barrier to delivering studies is recruitment. I hope that EPAD can deliver the necessary cohort of trial ready participants to allow medicinal preparations to be tested quickly and safely and therefore we find something that can change the lives of people who have dementia or are at risk of developing it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
