The University of Strathclyde’s Department of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management (DMEM) has begun important new research aimed at transforming dementia diagnosis and care across the UK. The six-month project, titled 'Flourishing for the Future: Caring for People Living with Dementia', is part of the NHS Fit for the Future Mission and is funded by UKRI and AHRC.

The project led by Professor Paul Rodgers with Dr Ross Brisco, Dr Neslihan Tepehan and Andrew Robinson brings together a multidisciplinary team of design researchers.

This ambitious initiative seeks to examine how we can reduce the need for hospital-based care for people living with dementia (PLwD) by identifying innovative, design-led interventions that support early diagnosis, bespoke care pathways, and community-based support systems. The project will also explore how national training, policy development, and public awareness can be enhanced to better support PLwD and their carers.
