NDCAN Research Group Blogs

Three NDCAN members have written blogs that are currently featured on the Scottish Dementia Research Consortium (SDRC) website. The blogs talk about how they became involved in the NDCAN research sub group, their experiences of research projects, the value of having people with lived experience involved in research, and what's important to know if you are a researcher.
