Unpaid Carers Needed For A Study

2 minute read

Researchers from the University of Oxford are looking for volunteers to take part in a group interview to discuss safety concerns that unpaid carers face and the support they need whilst providing care to a loved one at home.

This is a great opportunity to voice any safety concerns you may have and make a difference in the field of dementia research.

Who do they need?

  • Unpaid carer (family member, friend, or neighbour) of a
    person with dementia cared for at home
  • Willing to participate in a group interview (focus group) and
    to keep matters discussed by other participants confidential
  • Aged 18 years or over, able to speak English and give
    consent

Vouchers provided for participation & travel expenses refunded
