POrtal for Patient and Public Engagement in Dementia research

Welcome to Popped! This platform invites you to share your thoughts on research projects aimed at improving dementia care. By gathering feedback from the public, we hope to guide research in ways that reflect the needs and priorities of people with dementia, their carers, families, professionals and anyone with experience or interest in dementia.

APOE4

The APOE4 gene is one of the biggest risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s disease. We want your input in developing a counselling tool for people who choose to get tested for this gene.

Laci-Cog

LACI-Cog will be a clinical trial to test new treatments for adults with early or mild memory problems due to damaged blood vessels in the brain (called ‘vascular cognitive impairment’ or ‘vascular dementia’). These people will be invited to join the trial from memory clinics around the UK. We would greatly appreciate your comments on the plans and need for LACI-Cog.
