Overview
When you sign up to Join Dementia Research, the information you provide is used to match you to studies you may be able to take part in, both online, nationally and in your local area. The service connects registered volunteers with dementia researchers across the UK who are looking for people to join their studies.
Summary
Dementia is one of the biggest health challenges we face today. Around 944,000 people are currently living with dementia in the UK. This is estimated to increase to more than 1 million by 2030 and to 1.4 million by 2040.
Research offers hope. It is only through research that we can understand what causes the disease, develop effective treatments, improve care and hopefully one day find a cure.
But for research to progress we need more people to take part in more studies.
