Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire’s Centre for Research into Primary and Community Care, are leading two of the 21 new research projects funded by the NIHR, as part of the Government’s £22 million investment into dementia research. The research projects will focus on two specific areas: how to improve the healthcare for people with dementia who also have additional medical conditions such as stroke, diabetes or visual impairment; and how to best manage the behavioural and psychological symptoms of people living at home with dementia, symptoms such as becoming aggressive or agitated, wandering, becoming upset or distressed.
