Health and social care research helps us learn about why we become ill and what we can do to stay well. It advances our knowledge so that we can find new treatments, change the way we deliver care, prevent illness and improve the environment, health and wellbeing of local populations.
We support research that benefits people who use our services and the communities we serve. We have studies for children and young people, dementia, substance misuse, eating disorders, learning disabilities and mental health.

It stands for Determinants of quality of life, care and costs, and consequences of inequalities in people with Dementia and their carers. The research aims to address unanswered questions on inequalities, outcomes and costs following diagnosis with dementia to improve quality of care and life.
Anyone who has been diagnosed with any form of dementia within the past 6 months.
