We are developing a forum for those interested in ageing and dementia research at Bournemouth University. The forum is an opportunity to get together to chat about research and share experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Specific topics will be discussed but there will also be time for open discussion to mull over aspects of research such as project ideas and planning, ethical considerations and patient and public involvement.

The next forum meetings will be in October and November (see table below), if you would like to join us, please email adrc@bournemouth.ac.uk so we can send you the meeting details.

14:Live Today!

BU research, Public engagement ssquelch

Today will see 14:Live returning for its second run from 14:00-14:45 at the same location, Poole House Refectory, next to Papa Johns. It is open to all staff and students and 14:Live is pleased to welcome Dr Samuel Nyman, senior lecturer in Psychology.

Enhancing care services for people with dementia

The Bournemouth University Dementia Institute (BUDI) was established in May 2012 with a mission to make a positive influence on the lives of people with dementia. BUDI is made up of a multidisciplinary team that provides education, consultancy and evaluation, and research on a range of topics. One theme of BUDI is concerned with enhancing services that provide health and social care for people with dementia and their carers. This talk will present the findings of two studies under this theme.

The first study explored the social care needs of people with dementia who also have a visual impairment. Interviews with people in their own homes illuminated areas where services could be improved. The second study evaluated a service that supports people with dementia and their carers who are living at home. Interviews with staff and service users from the urban and rural areas identified important differences in how these two social care services operated, and the implications on care provision.

The talk will end by briefly mentioning current work under this theme and this year’s new Masterclasses and Master’s degree in dementia.

It would be great to see you all today to listen to what’s going to be a very interesting talk about BUDI’s research. Just to give you that little bit more incentive to come along, there will be tokens for the first 30 audience members to be exchanged for a FREE individual Papa Johns Pizza at the end of the talk, plus lots of free tea & coffee, water & juices – don’t miss out!

If you have any questions about this event or would like to hear about any other upcoming student engagement with research events contact me at ssquelch@bournemouth.ac.uk

I look forward to seeing you there!

UK academics accused of demanding too much office space: discuss!

Research news Corrina Lailla Osborne

The Estate Management Statistics annual report has found that academics in the UK have more office space than people working in other sectors and it will take a “cultural change” to make them use their space more efficiently. The report says that office-space norms in the UK higher education sector are “completely at odds” with those in other sectors and that there is significant of scope for rationalisation. The report also states that while other sectors have moved from the concept of private offices to shared spaces, some academics still view having their own office as the “norm for their discipline and method of teaching, and perhaps a status symbol”. The EMS recommends institutions make departments more accountable for use of space by charging them for it. What do you think about this?
