Dementia Research is a service which allows people to register their interest in national dementia research.

It helps people with dementia, their carers, or anyone interested in dementia research to be matched to studies. Once registered, your details will be stored securely, and will be regularly checked to see if you match to studies. Find out more here: www.joindementiaresearch.nihr.ac.uk

Bioresouce

Recruit for studies on common diseases, rare diseases and even healthy populations. Due to the specialist work needed to support COVID research we have a special section for that too. We can recall members who wish to take part in further studies.

PREPARED PRE-PREGNANCY CARE FOR WOMEN WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

The majority of women with Type 2 diabetes currently become pregnant without meeting current NICE care guidelines, putting their babies and personal health at risk. This study aims to address this problem by introducing a new care template for practices to support routine diabetes consultations with women of childbearing age. Participating practices would also be given access to a short online training programme on pregnancy care in diabetes. Following the introduction of the care templates we would monitor their impact on the delivery of the embedded care processes at regular intervals. We will also be collecting data from local hospitals to estimate the number of women presenting antenatally who meet current NICE guidelines.
