Scottish Dementia Clinical Research Network - SDCRN

Promoting Clinical Research in Dementia across Scotland

Welcome to the Scottish Dementia Clinical Research Network's website. We aim to promote research into dementia across Scotland. We believe all dementia patients and their carers should have the opportunity to take part in research. Currently more than 1,700 people in Scotland have registered their interest in being involved in approved research studies. If you have dementia or you care for someone with dementia and you want to be involved in research studies send your details to us on this form.

Our Summer 2012 Newsletter is out now. Follow this link.

The SDCRN started in 2008 and has recently been awarded a further 3 years funding, up to March 2015, from the Chief Scientist Office. Our latest annual report to the CSO is available here.

We also want more patients and members of the public involved in the network. If you are interested please complete our involvement form here.

We are now on Twitter @TheSDCRN. So follow us for all the latest news.

The James Lind Alliance and the Alzheimer Society have launched a Dementia Priority Setting Survey. If you are interested in dementia please go to this website and complete the survey by the end of June.
