Promoting Brain Health in clinical communication: Exploring if, when and how clinicians communicate dementia risk and prevention (CoRD)
We are seeking a postgraduate researcher with a keen interest in applied health research to work within an eminent research group on a project on Brain Health, which will explore the role health professionals play in communicating risk factors for dementia to patients. The post is fixed-term (6 months) full-time but part-time (0.8 FTE) applicants will be considered.
Our specific objectives are to:
1. Explore the role of primary care practitioners in the primary prevention of dementia. We seek to enquire if, when and how General practitioner's (GP's) promote Brain Health, discuss dementia risk and risk reduction with patients in primary practice.
2. Explore if and how specialist clinicians communicate dementia risk and risk reduction in memory clinic encounters when patients are diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Functional Cognitive Disorder.
3. Discover if there is a clinical consensus on the importance of discussing Brain Health, dementia risk and risk reduction, and when and how best to do so?
The researcher will join an inter-disciplinary mutually supportive, values-based team, focused primarily on research but also on cutting edge research-informed teaching and knowledge transfer. We are seeking a researcher who is passionate about applied health or social care research. The researcher will be skilled and experienced to lead the execution of this study working with the staff within the Centre for Applied Dementia Studies. The researcher will facilitate an ethics application, conduct a literature review, recruit, and conduct interviews and/or focus groups with general practitioners (GP's), organise workshops and engage in data analysis and dissemination.
The researcher should have experience of qualitative data collection and analysis, including thematic analysis. Skills in Conversation Analysis are desired but not essential. The researcher should have excellent organisational, verbal and written communication skills, and experience of working with health care professionals. This position could be based at home and/or the University of Bradford campus.
