Update on COVID-19 and Join Dementia Research
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for research:
- There are many studies on Join Dementia Research that do not involve person-to-person contact, such as online studies. These studies are continuing as normal.
- Many more research studies are now once again welcoming patients to take part, either by phone or video call, or in a healthcare setting.
- Researchers are doing everything they can to keep research participants safe. You can find out more about the measures that have been put in place on the Be Part of Research website.
We will keep this site as up to date as possible while things are changing. Please check our news pages for more information.
Looking after yourself
- For information about how to care for yourself or a loved one, please visit the NHS website.
- Alzheimer’s Research UK has produced a useful video for people affected by dementia at this time.
