Following on from our Annual Conference we are holding a special seminar focusing on some of the innovative projects from the Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice (ASCPP).
Living the Best Life Possible - Innovations from Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice seminar
Monday 23 September - 1pm - 2.20pm
This seminar showcases examples of the outcomes of three small research projects from two funding sources on interdisciplinary dementia practice. The RS MacDonald Charitable Trust funded Dr Rhoda MacRae and Prof Debbie Tolson to lead and steward an institutional Seedcorn Fund at the Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice at the University of the West of Scotland . The purpose of the Seedcorn funding was to catalyse interdisciplinary dementia research and grow the university's capabilities and capacity in applied dementia research.
The Scottish Neurological Research Fund is financially supported by RS Macdonald, the Chief Scientist Office and administered by the University of St Andrews. This fund supported by Eileen Harkess-Murphey's work.
