Organisation profile
Our research group investigates a range of topics associated with longer living. These are organised by three research themes:
Neurodegeneration (Including Dementias)
Sustainable Solutions for Long-Term Care
Inclusion.
Our goal is to produce cutting-edge research evidence to enable people to continue to actively participate in their everyday lives. Our work supports clinical and social community practices to provide services that are appropriate to the needs of different individuals and groups.
We work closely with members of various other HSC research themes, including George Savva, Diane Bunn, Guy Peryer and Meg Kamble, as well as our UEA colleagues Mizan Khondoker, Michael Hornberger, Chris Fox, Lee Hooper and Ken Laidlaw.
