Decision aid for Parkinson鈥檚 Dementia (DECADE)
Supervisors: Prof Kate Walters, Dr Kumud Kantilal, Dr Nathan Davies
As dementia in people with Parkinson鈥檚 progresses, decisions are often left for carers to make. However, carers find making decisions stressful and challenging. This project aims to understand the complexity and context of decision-making among carers of people with Parkinson鈥檚 dementia and develop a prototype decision aid. Proposed methods include an evidence review, qualitative interviews with carers, focus groups/surveys with professions and stakeholder workshops to develop a prototype decision aid. The multi-professional supervisory team with expertise in primary care, social care, and public health will work with the student to develop their ideas and focus for the PhD.
