Manchester University research project is looking to recruit people over 70 to share their experiences of life during the pandemic

Do you know someone over 70 and helping a partner living with dementia at home? Do they use a day centre and/or have outside support before the COVID-19 pandemic began? Yes? Then please tell the research team about their experiences during the pandemic in a telephone interview.

The University of Manchester are looking for older carers (70) of people living with dementia who might be prepared to take part in a telephone interview as part of a research programme. The University is being supported by tide charity (together in dementia everyday) to do research into the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on people who previously used a day centre or had outside support before the pandemic. They are particularly keen to involve this group of people as they haven’t been represented in previous similar research.
