Today Dr. Shanti Farrington, Principal Academic in Psychology, presented our research work on dementia in India today. She was invited to speak to the ‘Research Participation Group of the Ageing & Dementia Research Centre (ADRC) at Bournemouth University. She addressed a range of interesting issues, for example she spoke about lack of training of health care workers in dealing with people living with dementia, but also in lack of experience in diagnosing different forms of dementia. She also spoke about the lack of experts neurologists in India, and the ageing population in this vast country.
The discussion with the online audience also covered the role of diet in prevention of dementia and the limitations of using online health promotion material and general information on dementia in English, where some many languages are spoken. The underpinning research was largely funded by GCRF (Global Challenges Research Fund).
