EVIDEM is a major new initiative on identifying what works in the care and provision of services for people with dementia or memory problems, which is looking for volunteers to help in reaching their goal.

Ther are five projects that will consider diagnosis; challenging behaviour; incontinence at home; enhancing end of life care; and practical guidance on the use of the law about making decisions for people who might be unable to do so themselves (the Mental Capacity Act 2005).  EVIDEM is seeking volunteers who live in North London, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.  They may live in any setting.  If you, a person you are looking after, or a friend or family member are currently experiencing memory problems or have been diagnosed with dementia and want to consider volunteering to take part, please contact one of the Programme Managers by E-mail or telephone:
David Lowery: d.lowery@nhs.net / 020 3214 5889 or
Jane Wilcock: j.wilcock@pcps.ucl.ac.uk / 020 7830 2239

They will be pleased to answer any questions you may have that will help you to decide if you want to be involved in this important research.
