Since the 2nd January this
year I have been undertaking an exciting new PhD project funded by the
Abbeyfield Trust and supervised by Professor Gail Mountain, Professor MarkHawley and Kathryn Melling from the RAT group. I have also been working closely
with other colleagues who work in related areas, such as Laura Di
Bona who is involved in the Adopt A Care Home Scheme Evaluation.
So far my
research activity has consisted of reviewing the literature and undergoing
training to enable me to develop the proposal further. I am also attending
meetings with groups such as ENRICH (Enabling Research In Care Homes) and
networking with people working in dementia research and practice, such as
Andrew Wallace who is the Commissioning Officer (Quality) in Care Homes for
Sheffield City Council.
I would be interested to hear from anyone
else carrying out research into telemedicine for older people and / or in care
homes. For further information or queries, please contact Louise Newbould: LKNewbould1@sheffield.ac.uk
If anyone has questions or would like to
collaborate on the Adopt a Care Home Scheme, please contact Laura Di Bona: l.dibona@sheffield.ac.uk
