The ‘Valuing Active Life in Dementia’ (VALID) study has just
published a newsletter to update participants, researchers and people
interested in the progress of the study. VALID is examining the clinical and cost effectiveness
of a Community Occupational Therapy intervention (COTiD-UK) for people living
with dementia and their supporters, in the community. The intervention promotes independence and
quality of life. A randomised control trial is currently comparing COTiD-UK to the usual care people receive. VALID
will be recruiting until end of September 2016.
Group members Professor Gail Mountain with researchers Becky
Field and Laura Di Bona manage the Sheffield site for VALID.
