Co-designing a new implementation model for delivering support and education to carers of people living with dementia  

This project aimed to investigate the journey of carers of people with dementia from the point of diagnosis to navigation of the healthcare system and post-diagnostic support. The project was implementation-driven and translational in nature, as it was driven by objectives of developing feasible change for both clinical and community-led carer support. The project aimed to generate a new co-designed model for delivering carer education and support in ways that best meet carer needs.  This has implications for a range of sectors, as a wide range of disciplines are involved in the coordination of care for carers.
