Work in healthcare services that support people with young-onset dementia (YOD) and their families? Then perhaps you can help…

Thomas Faulklner is an Assistant Psychologist at our member Merseycare and is also a research intern with ARC NWC.

He says: “As part of my internship project, I am interested in the experiences of people working in health-care services who support people with young-onset dementia (YOD) and their families. This can include clinical staff, management, doctors, social workers and care-home staff, at any grade.

I am hoping to conduct some interviews of around 15/20 minutes on MS Teams that would involve me asking you about current experiences of working with YOD, whether you have any concerns or worries, and what your thoughts around the support that people with YOD receive from the service you work for.

I would be extremely grateful if you would be willing to offer your time to take part in my study. If you have any questions in the meantime, or would like to arrange an interview, please e-mail me at Thomas.faulkner@merseycare.nhs.uk.”
