Notice board/screens
-
Practices may wish to share information about research opportunities via practice notice boards, or screens in reception.
-
If a study team has received Health Research Authority (HRA) approval then any poster or leaflet that they share with practices should have gained HRA/ethical approval before this is displayed in a practice.
-
There are free printed resources that practices can order through the National Institute for Health Research, related to e.g. Be Part of Research, Join Dementia Research. To do so practices should visit the NIHR online shop at www.nihrresources.uk. A free user account will need to be created to place an order.
-
Practices can also access materials online that can be printed and shared, such as posters and leaflets. There are also slides available that can be shared via waiting room screens, and videos that are free to share on websites and social media. You can access these on the Be Part of Research website: https://bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/promote-research/Resources/

There is also the opportunity to search for studies taking place nationally by visiting the National Institute for Health Research website: https://bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/taking-part/uk-research-registries
Join Dementia Research
-
Join Dementia Research (JDR) is a service that gives people an opportunity to register interest in taking part in dementia research and to be matched to suitable studies. This makes research opportunities more accessible and also gives researchers more support when recruiting to studies. JDR connects people with an interest in participating in dementia research with researchers.
-
There is a JDR toolkit for healthcare professionals who wish to find out more about how this can be supported, which includes free resources that can be downloaded or ordered and used to raise awareness of JDR within practices (e.g. leaflets, posters): https://nhs.joindementiaresearch.nihr.ac.uk/
-
Join Dementia Research was developed by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in partnership with Alzheimer Scotland, Alzheimer's Research UK and the Alzheimer's Society.
