what is the research about?
This study, named Stand by Me by the advisory team, wants to find out more about the experiences of couples with a learning disability when one partner has dementia. We will use 'focused conversations' to talk with people in a relationship and, with permission, will interview their support staff and families. The study will run from 2021 - 2023 and we will be recruiting participants soon.
We will share updates and a series of research blogs as the study progresses.
